(2) Swimming pools shall be setback five feet from all property lines.
(3) Permanent swimming pools shall be entirely enclosed with a permanent barrier or fence not less than four feet in height, such fence having no opening with a dimension greater than four inches on a side (or in diameter in the case of round openings).
(4) (a) Walls of buildings may serve as part of the fence or barrier.
(b) Where such pools are of the type having above ground construction, that portion of the pool wall extending above the ground may be included as part of the barrier or fence.
(5) Fences shall have a gate which shall be securely locked when not in use.
(6) Above ground pools shall have a ladder or stairway which can be removed or rendered unusable and the entrance to the pool shall be capable of being securely closed to a height of four feet.
(B) Private tennis courts shall be permitted within side or rear yards provided that such facility shall not be less than 15 feet from side or rear property lines.
(C) Patios, paved terraces or open porches shall be permitted in all yards, provided that no impermeable surface shall be within two feet of any property line, unless as an extension of the existing dwelling which exhibits less than two feet of distance to the property line.
(D) Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit other uses not mentioned so long as they are clearly accessory to the principal permitted use of the land and do not create a threat to the public health, safety and/or welfare of the community.
