Are there other restrictions that apply to swimming pool construction?

The location of any sub-drains installed with the grading of the subdivision should be shown on the plans so that the pool contractor can avoid the sub-drains during excavation of the pool. An arborist’s report will be required if the pool is located within the drip line of any Native Tree over 5 inches in diameter measured three feet above the ground. Retaining walls or bond beams shall be limited to five feet in height, unless it is visible from off site, in which case it shall be no higher than three feet (Design Guidelines ID11.2).

For more information, please refer to the Town of Moraga Design Guidelines document.
