The fence is five foot, in height, and the bars in between are no greater than four inches apart. The gate/door swings away from the pool and it's self latching/closing. The only issues were on the west and north sides/ends, where the fence meets the neighbors' block walls. Underneath these areas, there is a clearance greater than five inches, between the ground and the bottom of the fence. The licensee agrees to decrease the gaps in each area and submit proof/pictures the Department.
