Except as otherwise provided, fenced enclosures shall be provided for dog runs and for swimming pools with a depth of 36 inches or more and shall be subject to the following requirements:
(a) Dog runs shall be enclosed by a fence of sufficient height and construction to contain the dog at all times.
(b) An outdoor swimming pool, the edge of which is less than four (4) feet above grade, shall be completely enclosed by a fence not less than four (4) feet in height. The fence shall be so constructed as not to allow a five (5) inch diameter sphere to pass through the fence. A principal or accessory building may be used as part of such enclosure.
(c) All gates or doors opening through an enclosure shall be equipped with a self-closing and self-latching device for keeping the gate or door securely closed at all times when not in actual use, except that the door of any building which forms a part of the enclosure need not be so equipped. The Building Official or his designee may permit other protective devices or structures to be used so long as the degree of protection afforded by the substitute device or structure is not less than the protection afforded herein.
