Submitted: September 26, 2023
Date Received by IWC: October 19, 2023 (Decision Required Date – December 23, 2023)

proposed installation of an above-ground pool.
Activity Description:
Wetland Disturbance Area 0 SF Watercourse/Waterbody Disturbance Area 0 LF
Upland Review Disturbance Area Applicant states approx.. 254 SF
Staff Comments in Review:
- This Application is for regulated activities within the upland review area to install a 18’
round above-ground pool.
- The property is located on 0.36 acres in the R-40 zoning district with approximately 84 feet
of frontage on Riched Lane. The property is currently developed with a single-family residence,
constructed in 1969; with an intermittent stream that runs horizontally with the rear property line.
- On August 21, 2023 the Applicant applied for a Zoning Permit for the installation of said
pool and proposed placement appeared to be within the URA.
- On September 1, 2023, a site inspection was conducted, a copy of which is attached. The
inspection revealed an intermittent stream, sections of which were dry, while another section had
standing water. Both of which can be seen in the attached photos. Subsequently the Zoning Permit
Application was denied until a Wetlands Permit was obtained.
- Staff has attached a copy of the GIS overview, dated August 21, 2023, with a red circle
indicating where the Applicant proposes to install said pool. The intermittent stream is also
depicted on said document.
