<br />Case File: GA.. 06-05 <br />Page 4 <br /> <br />Option C: <br /> <br />No fencing is required for any above-ground pool. A permit is still required if the pool is over 24- <br />inces deep or 5,000 gallons or more. <br /> <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 /> <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 /> <br />OPTION <br />C <br /> <br /> PERMIT FENCE CONTROLLED <br /> REQUIRED REQUIRED ACCESS <br />~~~ll \ <br />~I sm ,",'AU. t=~ YES YES <br />ACI'S AS BA.llJlJE:i <br /> <br />~\ <br /> <br />~0l <br /> <br />HOLE ABLE TO FALL IN <br /> <br />BARRlER T"riAT MUST BE CLIMBED <br /> <br />Planning Commission Workshop Meeting <br /> <br />The Planning Commission discussed the options and concluded that side walls of an above-ground <br />pool w~ould be an adequate barrier to prevent accidental entry into the pool.

They did want to see some language added to include a consequence to a <br />pool owner for not providing controlled access to a pool. Staff discussed this \,\i1.th the Police <br />Department and language can be added indicating that failure to comply would be a misdemeanor. <br /> <br />The Planning Commission agreed with staffs recommendation -with Option C. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the proposed language <br />which reflects Option C. <br /> <br />S:\PLAl""\JNING\Case Files\2006\OA \OA 06-05 Pool Fences\OA 06-05_PC.doc <br />
