| | DENIED BY BUILDING |
| | PLEASE ADDRESS THE ITEMS NOTED BELOW: |
| | |
| | 1) THE SURVEY SHOWS AN EXISTING MESH BARRIER AROUND THE |
| | SWIMMING POOL. IT IS NOT CLEAR WHETHER THE MESH BABY |
| | FENCE WILL REMAIN AS THE POOL BARRIER OR IF THE |
| | PROPOSED FENCING IS INTENDED TO REPLACE IT. PLEASE |
| | CLARIFY. FBC 107 |
| | |
| | 2) THE PROPOSED FENCE DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF |
| | A SWIMMING POOL BARRIER. THE FOLLOWING SECTIONS WILL |
| | NEED TO BE ADDRESSED. |
| | A) FBC-R4501.17.1.8 |
| | ACCESS GATES, WHEN PROVIDED, SHALL BE SELF-CLOSING AND |
| | SHALL COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF SECTIONS |
| | R4501.17.1.1 THROUGH R4501.17.1.7 AND SHALL BE EQUIPPED |
| | WITH A SELF-LATCHING LOCKING DEVICE LOCATED ON THE POOL |
| | SIDE OF THE GATE. WHERE THE DEVICE RELEASE IS LOCATED |
| | NO LESS THAN 54 INCHES (1372 MM) FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE |
| | GATE, THE DEVICE RELEASE MECHANISM MAY BE LOCATED ON |
| | EITHER SIDE OF THE GATE AND SO PLACED THAT IT CANNOT BE |
| | REACHED BY A YOUNG CHILD OVER THE TOP OR THROUGH ANY |
| | OPENING OR GAP FROM THE OUTSIDE. GATES THAT PROVIDE |
| | ACCESS TO THE SWIMMING POOL MUST OPEN OUTWARD AWAY FROM |
| | THE POOL. THE GATES AND BARRIER SHALL HAVE NO OPENING |
| | GREATER THAN 1/2 INCH (12.7 MM) WITHIN 18 INCHES (457 |
| | MM) OF THE RELEASE MECHANISM. |
| | |
| | B) FBC-R4501.17.1.2 |
| | THE BARRIER MAY NOT HAVE ANY GAPS, OPENINGS, |
| | INDENTATIONS, PROTRUSIONS, OR STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS |
| | THAT COULD ALLOW A YOUNG CHILD TO CRAWL UNDER, SQUEEZE |
| | THROUGH, OR CLIMB OVER THE BARRIER AS HEREIN DESCRIBED |
| | BELOW. ONE END OF A REMOVABLE CHILD BARRIER SHALL NOT |
| | BE REMOVABLE WITHOUT THE AID OF TOOLS. OPENINGS IN ANY |
| | BARRIER SHALL NOT ALLOW PASSAGE OF A 4-INCH-DIAMETER |
| | (102 MM) SPHERE. |
| | |
| | C) FBC-R4501.17.1.9 |
| | WHERE A WALL OF A DWELLING SERVES AS PART OF THE |
| | BARRIER, ONE OF THE FOLLOWING SHALL APPLY: |
| | |
| | 1. ALL DOORS AND WINDOWS PROVIDING DIRECT ACCESS FROM |
| | THE HOME TO THE POOL SHALL BE EQUIPPED WITH AN EXIT |
| | ALARM COMPLYING WITH UL 2017 THAT HAS A MINIMUM SOUND |
| | PRESSURE RATING OF 85 DBA AT 10 FEET (3048 MM). ANY |
| | DEACTIVATION SWITCH SHALL BE LOCATED AT LEAST 54 INCHES |
| | (1372 MM) ABOVE THE THRESHOLD OF THE ACCESS. SEPARATE |
| | ALARMS ARE NOT REQUIRED FOR EACH DOOR OR WINDOW IF |
| | SENSORS WIRED TO A CENTRAL ALARM SOUND WHEN CONTACT IS |
| | BROKEN AT ANY OPENING. |
| | EXCEPTIONS: |
| | 1.SCREENED OR PROTECTED WINDOWS HAVING A BOTTOM SILL |
| | HEIGHT OF 48 INCHES (1219 MM) OR MORE MEASURED FROM THE |
| | INTERIOR FINISHED FLOOR AT THE POOL ACCESS LEVEL. |
| | 2.WINDOWS FACING THE POOL ON FLOOR ABOVE THE FIRST |
| | STORY. |
| | 3.SCREENED OR PROTECTED PASS-THROUGH KITCHEN WINDOWS 42 |
| | INCHES (1067 MM) OR HIGHER WITH A COUNTER BENEATH. |
| | |
| | 2.ALL DOORS PROVIDING DIRECT ACCESS FROM THE HOME TO |
| | THE POOL MUST BE EQUIPPED WITH A SELF-CLOSING, |
| | SELF-LATCHING DEVICE WITH POSITIVE MECHANICAL |
| | LATCHING/LOCKING INSTALLED A MINIMUM OF 54 INCHES (1372 |
| | MM) ABOVE THE THRESHOLD, WHICH IS APPROVED BY THE |
| | AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION. |
| | |
| | 3.A SWIMMING POOL ALARM THAT, WHEN PLACED IN A POOL, |
| | SOUNDS AN ALARM UPON DETECTION OF AN ACCIDENTAL OR |
| | UNAUTHORIZED ENTRANCE INTO THE WATER. SUCH POOL ALARM |
| | MUST MEET AND BE INDEPENDENTLY CERTIFIED TO ASTM |
| | STANDARD F2208, TITLED "STANDARD SAFETY SPECIFICATION |
| | FOR RESIDENTIAL POOL ALARMS," WHICH INCLUDES SURFACE |
| | MOTION, PRESSURE, SONAR, LASER, AND INFRARED ALARMS. |
| | FOR PURPOSES OF THIS PARAGRAPH, THE TERM "SWIMMING POOL |
| | ALARM" DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY SWIMMING PROTECTION ALARM |
| | DEVICE DESIGNED FOR INDIVIDUAL USE, SUCH AS AN ALARM |
| | ATTACHED TO A CHILD THAT SOUNDS WHEN THE CHILD EXCEEDS |
| | A CERTAIN DISTANCE OR BECOMES SUBMERGED IN WATER. |
| | |
| | 3) WHEN RESUBMITTING, IT IS HELPFUL TO PROVIDE A |
| | RESPONSE LETTER ADDRESSING EACH ITEM ALONG WITH THE |
| | CITY RE-SUBMITTAL FORM. |
