Union Zoning Board Approves Pool Variance Despite Setback Deviations

In a recent meeting, the Union Zoning Board approved an application for a variance to install a pool on Conet Avenue, despite the applicant proposing setbacks of only two feet on each side, less than the required six feet. The decision was unanimous, with all present board members voting in favor.

15:46The applicant, Richard Van Fullic, sought the variance due to the irregular shape of his lot, which presented a hardship in adhering to standard setback requirements. The pool is to replace an existing one in the same location, maintaining the same dimensions. Van Fullic confirmed that his contractor from Blue Ribbon in Lindon would coordinate with the township’s building department to ensure compliance with all necessary regulations, including potential modifications to the perimeter fencing.

When questioned about neighbor concerns, Van Fullic noted that he had communicated with adjacent property owners, and there were no objections to the pool installation. Notices were sent to surrounding residents as part of the application process, with two responses received, one from a realtor and another from a former neighbor who had relocated.

20:34Board members expressed satisfaction with the straightforward nature of the application, describing it as clean and seeing no issues with granting the variance. The board emphasized the importance of collaboration during the permit process to minimize any potential neighborhood impact.
