If I was installing a pool and new birdcage, then I would have needed ARC approval.
It’s always best to call ARC first and describe what you want to do.
If it’s not too complicated, they will tell you if you need approval or not.
In your case, if you had called first, they may have told you upfront that approval would not be required.
However, it’s not true that you can do whatever you want inside an existing birdcage.
Example: I attended an ARC meeting where they denied approval to a homeowner that wanted to remove all the concrete surface in their existing birdcage and make the entire space a landscaped garden.
