The Commission recommended that she contact City Staff to begin the process and indicated the County would be required to record the lot combination if it was approved by the City. Commissioner Wilharber recommended that the lot combination request happen prior to the end of the year otherwise the County would require that taxes for the entire upcoming year be paid for before recording the lot combination. VI. DISCUSSION ITEMS 1. Ordinance #4 - Swimming Pool Fences and Temporary Structures Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated the City is receiving a lot of complaints concerning swimming pools and lack of fencing due to the increased interest and affordability in the inflatable, temporary swimming pools. Commissioner DeVine indicated that he felt some people have been singled out because only a few people received letters from the City and there are a lot of this type of pool in the community. He then said that he thought that enforcement was by complaint and there have been no official complaints made by residents, these have been brought forward by Staff He further commented that he does not think it makes any sense to require a fence around a temporary, inflatable pool but not around the ponds in town or his man made pond that is at ground level and much easier to fall into. Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated that Staff is out and about within the community and feels compelled to bring issues of ordinance violations forwarded when they are noticed. She then asked if Staff is to be directed to ignore ordinance violations when they are seen and wait for resident complaints. She also indicated that Staff is seeking direction from the Commission and Council concerning whether a building permit for swimming pools should be required to ensure that the wiring is properly installed.
