Litehouse pools, 25601 Loram Road. <br />Request variance to install 24 inch railings on raised decks on qwimming pools (30 inches above <br />grade), instead of 36 inch railings as required in Section R 214.2. <br />Chanman Burk aduiinistered the oath to Mr. R. Goold, president of Litehouse Pools, who <br />explained that he had received a load test from an axchitect which approved the weight, and the <br />railing around the deck had to be approved by the board. The deck that they install around their <br />pools can be used in 6 or 7 combinations. The pools are 4 feet high, and instead of a 2 foot fence <br />on top of the pool, on one section, about 2 feet long, there is a 2 foot high arm rest on the deck, <br />not 36 inches as required by code for a deck that is over 30 inches above grade. It does equal the <br />6 feet requ.ired for a swiviming pooL The fencmg around the back of the deck is 36 inches high. <br />If the arm rest was installed at 36 inches, it would not be usable. He believed that moving the <br />board up one foot would serve no purpose. Building Commissioner Conway stated that a lattice- <br />type fence is installed under the arm rest. The members had no objection to the request. J. Kazak <br />moved to approve the request of Litehouse Pools, 25601 Lorain Road for a variance to install 24 <br />inch railings on raised decks on swimm;ng pools (30 inches above grade), instead of 36 inch <br />railings as required in Section R-214-2, seconded by P. Engoglia, and unanimously approved. <br />2.
