(a) Every outdoor swimming pool shall be completely surrounded by a fence not less than four feet in height of chain link type and style, or board fences.
(b) A building or existing wall may be used as part of such enclosure.
(c) All gates or doors opening through such enclosure shall be designed to permit locking and shall be kept locked when the pool is not in actual use, or is left unattended.
(d) These requirements shall apply to both new and existing outdoor swimming pools, except that owners of existing outdoor pools shall be given a reasonable period, not to exceed 90 days from the effective date of this section (Ordinance 65-17, passed April 19, 1965) in which to comply. No person, either as owner, purchaser, lessee, tenant or a licensee, in possession of land within the City upon which is situated a swimming pool shall fail to provide and maintain such fence as herein provided.
(e) The Building Commissioner may make modifications in individual cases, upon a showing of good cause with respect to the height, nature or location of the fence, gates or latches, or the necessity therefor, provided that the protection as sought hereunder is not reduced thereby. The Building Commissioner may permit other protective devices or structures to be used so long as the degree of protection afforded by the substitute devices or structures is not less than the protection afforded by the wall, fence, gate and latch described herein.
