Case File:OA 06-05 <br /> Page 4 <br /> Option C.• <br /> No fencing is required for aM above-ground pool. A permit is still required if the pool is over 24- <br /> inces deep or 5,000 gallons or more. <br /> Controlled access would be required for pools 24-inches or higher and failure to due so would be a <br /> misdemeanor which can result in a citation. <br /> The thought is the sidewall of an above-ground pool acts as a barrier. The purpose for a fence is to <br /> act as a barrier to prevent a baby/toddler or inattentive adult from accidentally falling into a pool. <br /> OPTION <br /> C <br /> PERMIT FENCE CONTROLLED <br /> REQUIRED REQUIRED ACCESS <br /> YES YES <br /> HOLE ABLE TO FALL FN BARRIER THAT MUST BE CLIMBED <br /> Planning Commission Action <br /> A resident spoke regarding their desires on what should be included in the ordinance. The Planning <br /> Commission discussed the options and concluded that side walls of an above-ground pool would be <br /> an adequate barrier to prevent accidental entry into the pool. They agreed that they did not want to <br /> impose a significant financial impact on a home owner for a temporary pool that is relatively <br /> inexpensive. <br /> The Planning Commission agreed with staffs recommendation of Option C with additional <br /> language being added regarding the storage of chemicals in a structure. <br /> Recommendation <br /> Staff and the Planning Commission recommended the City Council approve the proposed language <br /> which reflects Option C. <br /> N:\Public Bodies\Agenda Packets\06-03-2013\Final\Done\x8.1 atl.doc <br />
