Summary
Ann Arbor’s Historic District Commission is reviewing application HDC26-0112 for 516 Fifth Street, a contributing property in the Old West Side Historic District. The applicant proposes a 275-square-foot, three- to five-foot-deep inground gunite therapy pool in the rear yard, with a brick-paver patio connected to existing paving. The pool is intended for therapeutic use by the homeowner’s spouse following a brain injury. City staff find the design, placement, and materials compatible with the historic property and report that it will not affect historic materials or be visible from the public right of way. Staff recommend issuing a certificate of appropriateness under federal rehabilitation standards and Ann Arbor’s historic district guidelines.
