BLRE-g7-22-7647 - Blodgett outdoor pool project at 880 Buck Point Rd,
Panorama Ranches, Homestead Lot 53C
Courtesy update for Blodgett pool project team:
l'm currently reviewing the outdoor pool design and have some comments and questions on the proposed
pool location.
1
COMMENTS:
1. Pursuant to the Aspen Surveyed "site plan" (dated 8/2020l' greaterthan 50% of the underground pool
appears to project inside the recorded 50 ft setback for Homestead Lot 53C. For buildings the 50'
setback is correct, but for something such as a pool which is flush with the ground 25' setback is ok. I
have cleared the project with the HOA architectural committee who had an onsite visit and observed
the staked out pool site. While Kumar & Associates Location and Exploration boring 1on report22-7-
287 depicts the proposed swimmíng pool outside wholly to the EAST of said recorded 50 ft setback and
flush south with the existing home.
QUESTIONS:
7.a. May I re-offirm the pool is proposed as submitted on the SITE PLAN prepored by Aspen Survey? Yes
1.b. What is the approximote distance from existing outdoor residential living projections to the proposed
pool? The paol is 37'from the house ond 25'from the attached deck
1.c. Will the pool design include outdoor pool barrier fence ond gate? lf so, whøt is the proposed fence
materiol height, dimensions, access gate latching mechanism / details. The intentian is not to have a fence,
but to rely on the automated pool cover system (ie closed when not in use)
1.d. To facilitate the revíew, I will check our currently adopted 2015 ICC swimming pool and spo code for pool
barrier exceptions -- some automatic safety covers qualify as fence barrier for outdoor hot tubs and
spas. However, I don't belíeve the exception extends to underground outdoor pool instollations.
FYI l'll need to continue researching this item and first need to check a code book shelved back at our main
office ln Glenwood Spríngs. l'm emailing remotely this morning ....
