§9-402 HOUSING CODE; SWIMMING POOLS. No person shall construct
any outdoor swimming pool in the Municipality until a building
permit shall have been obtained from the Municipal Clerk. The
Municipal Clerk shall furnish a form upon which application is
made, which form shall request all the information made necessary
by ordinance. Such pool shall be appurtenant to the private
residence of the owner and shall have a fence constructed around
the pool so that small children are not able to enter the pool area
inside the fence except through the residence or gate which at all
times shall remain locked, except when in use by the owner. In no
case shall the fence required by this section be less than six feet
(6′) high. Failure to construct a fence around the pool or failure
to keep any gate in said fence locked when not in use shall be
deemed an offense and a nuisance, and as such, shall be penalized
as provided in this Chapter, or as provided in the Health and
Sanitation Chapter of this Code.
