Both types of barriers have possible access issues, but the small gate opening in a fence is less prone to <br /> accidental access. As the ordinance only speaks of lockable gates in the fencing, staff recommends <br /> additional language requiring self-closing and self-latching gates. <br /> It is understood that any type of barrier can be penetrated. A fence does not prevent someone from <br /> intentionally climbing over the fence. Nor does a pool cover prevent someone from intentionally <br /> opening it,whether it is with a key or a knife. The intent of the ordinance is to prevent accidental <br /> accessing at all times. <br /> Any modification to the ordinance will require a public hearing and review by both the Planning <br /> Commission and City Council. <br /> ATTACHMENTS <br /> • City Council Staff Report dated July 17, 2006 <br /> • Other City Sample Ordinances <br /> N:\Public Bodies\Agenda Packets\06-03-2013\Final\Done\x8.1 sr Pool covers.docx <br />
