HomeMy WebLinkAbout20250933 40 Friar Tuck Way Area Variance Public Comment Pool synopsis
We respectfully request the denial of a variance for extension of the pool apron to be used
as a patio around our neighbor’s pool at 40 Friar Tuck Way.
We feel that our neighbors have already received tremendous relief for their patio, as if it
was to stand alone, it would need to be 12 feet from the property line, but since it is a “pool
related structure” it can be right on the edge of the pool at 8 feet, if we understand the city’s
codes correctly.
We feel that further advances towards the property line will worsen our already
compromised privacy.
The patio will be in direct sightline of the beautiful picture window in our bathroom, and we
feel there is no amount of shrubbery that can be planted that will ensure our privacy in that
part of our home.
A significant amount of money will need to be spent for a window treatment to ensure our
privacy, in keeping with the nature of our bathroom remodel.
A substantial amount of money on water abatement will need to be spent as our neighbor’s
pool and yard are now at least six inches above the previous level, which was right in line
with our yard prior to this pool. As water seeks its level, and with our anticipation of the
hardscape patio, we know we will be dealing with run off from the pool and yard onto our
lawn and garden.
At the current stage of the project, it appears the pool builder assumed that they had the
variance in hand, as we see construction stone all the way to our property line.
We respectfully ask that the requested variance not be allowed.
Sincerely,
Dr. Paul E. Gebhard Jr and Jeanmarie F. Gebhard
