Proposed front-yard swimming pool at 1725 Roxbury Rd
Upper Arlington
Summary
A corner-lot owner wants a 15' x 35' pool and patio in the Chelsea Road front yard, where pools are prohibited by the zoning code. Staff say the variance would create a dangerous precedent and won't support it — but the applicant wants to gauge the board's thinking before deciding whether to keep or sell the property.

Impact analysis
The applicant is weighing whether to invest in updating the property or sell it, depending on the board's feedback.
If approved, only the property owner would benefit — but staff and the board's history suggest that's unlikely.
Neighbors on Chelsea Road could face a front yard turned into a pool deck if the prohibition were ever waived.
