VAR 2026-006 pool setback variance

Adjacent owner at 50 Green Creek Road warned the regrading and pool could redirect rainwater onto neighboring yards, questioned the staff report's no-adverse-impact finding without a drainage study, cited inconsistent plan dimensions, and called the hardship self-created.

The landowner behind the property said AT&T trench work put his screening trees in shock, criticized the staff's reliance on those trees, and pointed to inconsistent pool dimensions and nearby pools built without variances.

The applicant's wife explained the pool design changed repeatedly to fit the small yard, said the fiber line was moved at no cost, and asked for the variance so she and her husband — 100% disabled veterans — could use the spa for pain relief.
