Seriously sad - no wonder this town is losing tax payers left and right and homes stay up for sale for years! Put up a tiny inflatable intex pool in my driveway, should be no issues, "zoning" sends me a violation. Try to get some solution from them and just more issues.
It's practically a kiddie pool. The home my wife and I own was vacant for almost 2 yrs prior to her buying it and we over paid on our taxes due to no re-assessments performed until few yrs ago. So if it weren't for us staying and buying here you guys would't have jobs PERIOD.
Trying to talk to this zoning guy was just a circular argument. The pool is being drained and I'lll have to move it - my fault for putting it in plain sight where anyone driving by could see. That doesn't mean I won't still be using it.
Hey, I understand your feelings. It isn't just where you live. Many towns consider these Intex pools worthy of obtaining permit status, etc. I think the reason is safety issues because they require electrical power to feed pump and are semi-permanent. Probably someone complained because it was in your driveway. But again, it isn't just where you live.

Also, that one is ~650 gallons, the 15' ones which are the exact same in terms of how they work are ~3000 gallons.
If you've got a slope towards your neighbors yard and it fails, you've just flooded their basement, for another example of potential issues.
To be fair, I don't think it should need an approval unless it's actually set up in an unsafe manner, but it's somewhat understandable why it is.
Sorry, but I have to agree with the town. An item like that belongs in the backyard, not the driveway. What's next, the swing set on the front lawn? Whether or not a permit is required would depend on safety of your family and the neighbors should the pool fail.
A buddy of mine and his neighbor in Midland Park were both cited for having one of those in their backyard. Unfortunately their yards can be seen from the street. You're definitely not the only one.
This country would be uninhabited if it was up to bureaucrats to sail across the Atlantic to such unknown areas. Imagine bureaucrats pushing west in covered waggons without a permit. Good intentions without common sense are not a net net positive..
