25 | On 1/24/24 at 9:15 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Keturah Lane conducted a second pre-licensing inspection at the facility to inspect corrections to pool fencing in the backyard. Upon arrival, LPA met with applicant Bianca McKinney and toured the facility. Also present in the facility was applicant's husband Orlonzo Smith, helper Christopher Jasper and applicant's minor children. LPA inspected pool fencing in backyard, measured mesh fences and took video and pictures. LPA completed the Bodies of Water Checklist and found pool to be fenced according to regulations.
LPA walked the entirety of the fencing around the pool. LPA observed that the mesh fencing is attached to the privacy fence at back of property on both sides. LPA observed the mesh fencing is consistently 5 feet high around and LPA measured several portions while walking around the pool. LPA observed the fence to be in good repair (new) and completely surrounds the pool. LPA observed that the fence is designed so children cannot remove any portion of it and is not climbable. LPA did not observe any window or door with direct access to the pool. LPA opened and closed the gate and observed that the gate swings away from the pool and is self-latching with the latch located no more than 6 inches from the top of the gate. LPA observed that the opening between mesh portions does not exceed 4 inches and the bottom of the gate is less than 1 inch from the ground surface, LPA observed that the fencing is thick & strong enough that it cannot be easily broken, bent, removed or stretched by children and can withstand the impact of toys.
The backyard that has the pool is also off-limits to the children who will be using a side yard/patio for outdoor play. There is no access to the backyard from the side yard/patio which is completely fenced. Children also do not have access to the sliding glass door that leads to the backyard as there are safety gates keeping the children in the licensed areas. See previous LIC809 pre-licensing report for off-limit areas. (continued on LIC809-C...) |
