East Hampton Village mulls new law that would bar pool houses from becoming second homes

Town board members want to prevent new pool houses from being built to be used as second residences, the East Hampton Star reported. They plan to discuss a new law at their upcoming work session. The law would make any new pool houses or renovated ones to be more austere, without heating, insulation or air conditioning. They’d also be limited to one room with a sink and a powder room, but no showers and they could only be built on properties where a pool already exists. [East Hampton Star]
