§ 34-571. Modification approval.

(a)

Modification approval. An application to modify a pool must be submitted to and approved by the board of health prior to the start of the modification. All major modifications shall be in accordance with plans and specifications approved by the board of health. Changes in an approved project may be made only after written approval by the board of health. Any additional data required by the board of health for purpose of clarification, anticipated use or to support the design or scope of the project must be submitted prior to issuance of a permit to modify. Permits to modify are not transferable. A permit to modify a pool is required before any major modification begins. Modification permits shall be effective for 12 months from date of issuance or until the expiration date on the permit. Written notification shall be made to the board of health for all other modifications. Replacement of existing, approved equipment with the same approved equipment (i.e., same manufacturer, model number, capacity, and similar specifications) will not require a permit to modify. If the replacement equipment is not the same as the existing, approved equipment, then a permit, along with submittal of the fee, specification sheet(s), and any other data deemed necessary by the board of health, is required prior to commencement of any work. The board of health shall determine if and when a modification permit is required.

(b)

Invalid permit. If a modification does not begin by the expiration date of the permit, the permit expires and the project must be resubmitted to the board of health before work begins. A written request for an extension of time, prior to the expiration of the permit, to start a modification may be approved by the board of health if no changes to the project are proposed or required.

(c)

Renovation approval. A renovation shall be subject to the same requirements for permitting as for a major modification approval above or for construction approval, depending upon the scope of proposed work.

(d)

Fees. A permit fee, in accordance with the current fee schedule, shall be submitted with the application for a major modification or renovation. A fee, in accordance with the current fee schedule, shall be charged for each re-inspection, if necessary, after the initial and follow-up inspections.
