BELMAR — The mayor and council unanimously voted to adopt a contentious ordinance from the planning board regarding pool house regulations and impervious coverage at their final meeting of the year, held last week on Friday, Dec. 29.
The newly-adopted ordinance, which originated from the planning board, amends and supplements the borough code to include loose stone and gravel to the impervious area definition, as well as a new section for verbiage for pool house structure requirements.
A “pool house,” according to the ordinance, is defined as a one-story, ground-level, detached accessory structure with a closed roof permitted to serving a lawfully existing and approved inground swimming pool on a residential property to be used for recreational or storage purposes for that property, where only one such structure is permitted per property and must also comply with zoning regulations.

Additionally, a pool house structure is not permitted to have heating or cooling equipment; however may contain a half-bath with limited water heater capacity. A deed restriction filed with the Monmouth County Clerk’s Office and certifying such exclusions and prohibiting any conversion into a habitable space would also be required.
