Case File: OA O6-OS <br />Page 4 <br />Option C: <br />No fencing is required for a~ 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 ababy/toddler or inattentive adult from accidentally falling into a pool. <br />OPTION <br />C <br /> PERMIT <br />REQUIRED FENCE <br />REQUII2ED CONTROLLED <br />ACCESS <br />€^ <br /> <br />~~ ~ <br /> <br />~~..~ <br />z~ YES YES <br /> <br />HOLE ABLE TO FALL IN <br />5dlll ~' <br />BARRIER THAT MUST B8 CLU4BED <br />Planning Commission Workshop Meeting <br />The Planning Commission discussed the options and concluded that side walls of an above-ground <br />pool would be an adequate barrier to prevent accidental entry into the pool. They agreed that they <br />did not want to impose a significant financial impact on a home owner for a temporary pool that is <br />relatively inexpensive. 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 with the Police <br />Department and language can be added indicating that failure to comply would be a misdemeanor. <br />The Planning Commission agreed with staffls recommendation with Option C. <br />Recommendation <br />Staff recommends that the Planning Com>nission recommend approval of the proposed language <br />which reflects Option C. <br />S:\PLANNING\Case Files\2006\OA\OA OG-OS Pool Fences\OA 06-05_PC.doc <br />
