(staff-Debbie Pedro) Staff introduced this item stating the applicants are requesting a variance to rebuild an existing pool deck encroaching into the side yard setback by up to 12 feet with a new pool deck that will be in approximately the same location. Findings for the variance have been prepared by the applicants and are included in the staff report. According to the applicants, it is impractical to move the pool deck to an alternate location because the outdoor entertainment area will not be located within a reasonable distance from the bathroom and the outdoor barbeque that is located on the east side of the house. In addition, the existing sewer line which is located on the north and west side of the pool, does pose some constraints to the placement of the new pool and decking. The adjacent neighbor closest to where the deck encroachment occurs has submitted a letter to the Town indicating no issues with the proposal. Relocating the deck to another area of the yard will not serve to reduce any adverse visual or privacy impacts. OPENED PUBLIC HEARING
