How Close ?

[globe trekker]

I have a residential in-ground swimming pool project that I am reviewing.

QUESTION: I have seen the minimum separation distance listed somewhere, but what is the minimum separation

distance that an in-ground, reinforced steel foundation, gunite applied type of pool be away from the property line?

Thanks ya'll!

Check Zoning, I don't believe it's in the I-codes. (even if it is, Zoning will likely have a greater setback requirement)

Thanks John!

Seems like I saw a 10 ft. minimum somewhere...

We have a setback requirement in our zoning code, which I think is about 10 feet. They base it on if a kid can get on top of the required barrier or fence, they can't reach the pool by jumping off.

Maybe you're thinking about the distance from overhead electrical lines. Ours is 10' in our area.

Mule,

Nope! I was actually thinking about the minimum distance to the property lines [ i.e. - the minimum setback distance ], but thanks for the input.
