A. Permit Required. No person shall erect or install or cause to be erected or installed a private trampoline that is either in the ground or permanently anchored to the ground on any premises within the Village without a permit from the Director of Community Development. A written application for such permit shall be filed with the Director and shall be accompanied by plans and specifications sufficiently detailed to enable determination of compliance with the requirements of this chapter.
B. Enclosures required. Every owner, purchaser under contract, lessee, tenant or licensee of a lot or premises upon which a private trampoline is situated shall maintain at all times on such lot or premises a fence or other structure completely surrounding such trampoline. The fence shall be at least four (4) feet high, with no horizontal gaps or apertures larger than four inches. Such fence shall be no less than ten (10) feet away from any edge of the trampoline.
C. Gates or doors. All gates or doors opening through a fence or enclosure maintained in accordance with this section shall be equipped with self-closuring and self-closing latching devices placed at the top of such gates or doors and made inaccessible to small children. Such devices shall be so designed as to be capable of keeping such doors or gates securely closed at all times when not in actual use; provided, however, that the door of any dwelling forming a part of the enclosure need not be so equipped. (Ord. MC-192-97 § 22, 1997; prior code § 29.04)
