Pools that require a permit (in turn a fence) are those <br />that meet one or more of these criteria: <br />o Greater than 5,000 gallons <br />o Greater than 24-inches in water depth <br />o Located In ground <br />Their concern was with the "smaller" inflatable pools (i.e. 2,000-3,000 gallons) that are <br />common this time a year. <br />Staff will provide more information at the meeting fox review and comments. <br />S:\PLANNING\Case Files\2006\OA\OA Pool Fences\PC Workshop (-27-OG.doc <br />
