Remember this is a right of way, so some time in the future you may find construction equipment and workers in this area. Personally, I would leave a grass, and then have a low wall OFF the right of way close to the pool to block grass clippings and irrigation water from getting into the pool.
On a side note, you state the wall etc were not a concern. IMHO, I would double check to see if this area is fill, if so I would be very concerned about a pool located in an area that was "fill", settlement could pose a lot of problems from minor leaks to major cracks. While doing the pool later will probably have a year to 18 months lead time, it would give you time to see if there are any problems in this area.
I wish you a lot of luck on your plans.

We did have a conversation about any of the 150 lots on the same retaining wall. Apparently the wall was added instead of have a severe slope to the wet lands, so no fill. There isn’t any water or wet land at our end, just lots of vegetation, and trees.
The top of the wall is almost even with the back of our lot, the decorative fence on the top of wall, that I am guessing could be a deterrent from going in the prairie. Design team has already sent potential pool designs, by T&D at build. There will be about 30 feet to the easement from back of our house. We are just on the fence of adding a pool, since the neighborhood pool is just a block away, along with the dog park.
