Decks count toward setbacks and must gain approval through the issuance of a zoning permit prior to their construction.
- Decks attached to the home must meet the setbacks required for the principal structure including a 75’ setback from the Ordinary High Water Mark for their approval.
- Decks not attached to the house must meet a 10’ setback from the house.
- Decks attached to a pool, not attached to the house, must meet all setbacks of accessory structures including a 10’ setback from any structure they are not attached to.
- Once the pool and deck are connected to the house, they become part of the house and must meet the same setback requirements as the house.
