We use the 20-20-10 rule: 20 feet from the side water line to each side property line and 10 feet from the rear water line to the rear of the property. (This is for above ground and in ground swimming pools) If you are under these measurements, you will need to apply for a variance through the Board of Appeals.

A pool dome or top fencing attached to the pool must extend at least forty-four (44) inches above the ground. A pool cover must be capable of supporting one hundred (100) pounds per square foot of area. The cover must be secured at all times when the pool is not being supervised by a responsible adult. Stairs, ladders or other accesses, shall be secured, removed or blocked to prevent access when the pool is not in use.

It depends upon the depth of the well, if you have leased your property, and if the well is going to be a vertical or directional well. A vertical well cannot be drilled closer than 100 feet from any property not in the drilling unit but may need to be up to 500 feet depending upon the depth of the well. A directional well can conceivably be drilled right next to a property line.

Well Construction Standards [WAC 173-160] do not specifically state property line restrictions, but states that wells must be located a minimum of one-hundred (100) feet from sources of know or potential contamination sources. Prior to constructing a well near a property line, consider the protection of the 100-foot radius sanitary zone. If the property line is adjacent to a state, county or private road, there are also road and utility easements that must be maintained.

With the proper building permit, you may install a fence adjacent to or on the rear and side property lines. The fence may not exceed six feet on the rear and side property lines or while it maintains the front yard envelope, or flush with the front of the house. The fence may not exceed four feet on the front and street side (corner side) property lines in residential districts if it is located on the front or street side (corner side) property lines.

The pool opens on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend and closes at the end of the day on the Monday of Labor Day weekend.

We have consciously decided against building a swimming pool we believe a swimming pool with people sunbathing next to it is culturally inappropriate due the location of the Kasbah and its closeness to the Berber villages and Berber community. We never set out to build a conventional hotel and like to refer to the Kasbah as a Berber Hospitality Centre. The need for a swimming pool is not huge as we are at 1800 metres and even in summer the air temperature is reasonable unlike Marrakech.

Yes, but a building permit is not required for this. The fence must be secured at least forty-four (44) inches above the grade. A fence shall be constructed to prevent passage of a four (4) inch sphere between or under fencing materials. Gates shall include self-closing and self-latching devices that are placed on the inside of the gate at least thirty (30) inches above ground level.

Under the Residential Tenancies Act 1987, it is usually the landlord’s responsibility for providing and maintaining the premises in a reasonable state of repair, however the tenant is not to intentionally or negligently damage the premises and the tenant must notify the landlord of any damage.

For a standard-size lot (minimum of 60’ wide), you can build as close as 25’ to your front property line and as close as 8’ to your rear property line. In general, for lots which are not on a corner, you can build as close as 8’ to your side property line as long as you allow at least 12’ of space on the opposite side of the structure (for a total of 20’ of side yard setback).

All public swimming pools or spas are required to have a permit to operate issued by the Environmental Management Department, Environmental Health Division. Private pools and spas are those which are intended for non-commercial use and are not used by more than three owner families and their guests. Private pools meeting this requirement do not require a permit to operate from our Department.

There are quite a few swimming pool supply stores in the County that offer excellent professional advice on how to maintain your pool. In the event that you would prefer not to maintain the pool yourself, professional pool service companies are available. In addition, there are basic pool maintenance training programs available. Your inspector is enforcing state law.

Call the the Sacramento County Nuisance Complaint Center at 916-875-5656 to file a complaint. You should call as soon as possible in order for the field specialist to complete a thorough investigation. Be sure you have the pool complex's name and a street address before calling. Be sure to consult with your doctor if your symptoms are severe and/or you want a definitive diagnosis.
