Dear Ms. Heflinger,
The City has received a complaint regarding the fence requirements for the swimming pool at the
subject property. An inspection was made on March 30, 2010. At that time the north portion of
the fence was deteriorated to the point of being in violation of Edmonds Community
Development Code (ECDC) 19.00.005.C.7. You may not have been aware of the City swimming
pool regulations.
The specific fence requirements follows:
ECDC 19.00.005.C.7. Section 3109.6 Fences and gates.
a. The swimming pool area shall be completely surrounded by a substantial fence at least six (6)
feet in height. No openings shall be greater than two (2) inches, and a self-closing, self-latching
gate shall be provided, with an inside lock inaccessible to children aged five (5) years or
younger.
b. The gate shall be securely locked when the swimming pool is unattended.
Corrective actions required at your earliest convenience by April 5, 2010:
Please repair the fence to the point of being substantial and meeting the code
·
requirements noted above.
If you choose to replace the fence, a fence permit is required. A handout that outlines the
