Commission District 04 Super District 06

Applicant: Jason and Saliena Guzman 747 Hillmont Ave Decatur, GA 30030 Owner: Jason and Saliena Guzman 747 Hillmont Ave Decatur, GA 30030 Project Name: 747 Hillmont Ave Location: The property is located approximately 550-feet south of the intersection of East College Avenue and Hillmont

Avenue. Request: Variance from Chapter 27:

1) Section 4.2.2 H Accessory buildings structures and uses to build a swimming pool within 5 feet of a rear property line and

2) Section 5.1.10 Maximum lot coverage to increase the lot coverage from 35% to 39.28% to build a swimming pool

Staff Recommendation: Denial. The applicant is proposing to construct a swimming pool in an alley and has not received permission from the property owner (DeKalb County) to request a variance on this property.

Request for variance at 747 hillmont Ave for Pool installation

Requesting Variance on 2 issues of concern, lot

coverage and building within 5ft of the property line

for the installation of a in ground pool.

Regarding building within 5ft of the property line. The

backyard is extremely narrow not allowing us much

room to start with. We have pushed the pool up

against the home (1ft off to be exact) to keep as much

room as possible. If we had suffienct room we would

by all measn keep the pool over 5ft from the line

however we physically have no other choice. The pool

itslef is a very conservative size, 12ft x 21ft, for an

example, the average pool I install is a 16ft x 32ft for

typicall families of 4. We are simply trying to bring a

backyard to life with a pool as so many other residents

within the county have. Seeing the width of the

backyard should show that we are not asking for an

unreasonable variance.

Installation of a pool here will not materially

detrimental to the public or injurous to the property or

the adjacent land. Behind the pool there is a 6ft tall

privacey fence which blocks the view from the road.

There is a sidewalk adjaent to the road but it is well

over 30ft away as well so no pedestrians or drivers

would see any complications either. There are no

homes within 50ft from the pool, so being on the

property line will not interfere with other residents

within the community. Even in the event that the pool

area did flood, all water would flow down the driveway

to a dead end side street due to the grade and not to

the neighboring road way or fellow properties. This

installation would not cause any saftey hazard for the

community or the home owner, the pool is fenced on

all 4 sides with a 6ft privacey fence including a self

closing and self locking gate to keep non residents out.

Lot Coverage issue.

Regarding lot coverage we are requesting an increase

to 39.28%, a mere 4.28% over the max. We feel this

request is justifed seeing how 747 Hillmont is

significantly smaller than the 10,000 sq ft minimum lot

size of Dekalb county by over 3,000 sq ft. The entire

pool area addition is well under 1,000 sq ft. If the lot

was 10k sq ft we would not need this variance at all.

We see no special privileges being requested due to

this. Increasing the lot coverage would not be

detrimental to any neighboring properties including

747 Hillmont. The propsed change will not increase any

runoff. The decking material used will all be permeable

to allow water through to the soil. Additioanlly the

system we build is proprietary needing no free

standing filter as seen on tradtional pool systems. The

removal of the tradtional filter means we don’t have to

backwash our system resulting in excess water on the

ground. Our systems unique build style also means

there is no forseable reason to drain the pool and

3

sealed filitration unit means no fear of leaks. The pool

being so close to the house will not damage it either, it

is a sub wall made of concrete with hardyboard

concrete siding. We have no fear of future wood rot or

property damage due to this. Mentioned above there

is no home closer than 50ft to the pool area so

increased noise would not be an issue. The lot

inbetween the road and pool is far too narrow for any

future contruction projects by the county or devolpers.

In close we hope you will see our request through and

let us continue in the contruction of this project.

Restricting this lot size increase would be at a huge

disadvantage to the Guzman family. I met with Mr.

Guzman before they haad purchased the lot to see if a

pool installation was possible. I personally never would

have guessed that these issues would have arised. My

client is from the area and loves it dearly, this house is

meant to be a forever home and is only requesting to

install a small splash pool so that he and his loved ones

can enjoy the outdoor area in the Ga heat.

Thank you for hearing our request.

Sincerely,

Blackstock Pools LLC. & the Guzman Family
