LPA Clayton observed an 8-inch-deep stream leading to a 1 ft deep x 5 ft wide mud pond in the back yard. LPA Clayton advised the applicant that the pond must be gated according to Title 22 regulations as follows: 102417 (g) (5) (A) All licensees shall ensure the inaccessibility of pools (in-ground and above-ground), fixed-in-place wading pools, hot tubs, spas, fishponds and similar bodies of water through a pool cover or by surrounding the pool with a fence. (A)Fences shall be at least five feet high and shall be constructed so that the fence does not obscure the pool from view. The bottom and sides of the fence shall comply with Division 1, Appendix Chapter 4 of the 1994 Uniform Building Code. In addition to meeting all of the aforementioned requirements for fences, gates shall swing away from the pool, self-close and have a self-latching device located no more than six inches from the top of the gate. Pool covers shall be strong enough to completely support the weight of an adult and shall be placed on the pool and locked while the pool is not in use.
