Recommendation
v
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the
attached ordinance amending the City Code by adding Section 10-4,
which requires that a protective barrier be placed around
swimming pools.
Background ---
At the present time there are no requirements for enclosing
swimming pool areas either in the Building Code or City Code.
The proposed requirements are needed for the safety of the public
especially small children. Metro Dade and other municipalities
have provisions in their respective codes requiring protective
barriers. The proposed amendment would provide the needed
protection which would be required when swimming pools permits
are applied for through the Building & Zoning Department.
It also provides for compliance. by present swimming pool owner
within a two (2) year period.
