(A) Playground areas shall be enclosed by a fence, hedge, trellis, or other barrier not less than 42 inches high to protect the area from traffic, animals, or other hazards. Openings in a fence, trellis, or other manmade barrier shall not allow passage of a four-inch diameter sphere. Playground areas shall be in rear yard whenever possible. Day care center fence requirements contained in Vermillion Zoning Regulations, Chapter 155, will prevail to the extent they apply and conflict with this provision.
(B) Exception: A registered daycare provider may be exempt from the fencing or other barrier requirement of this section if a written consent form signed by a parent or guardian of each child being cared for stating they understand that there is not an enclosed playground area at the registered location.
