Background Asbury’s current pool fencing guidelines require a six (6) foot high fence with a self-closing, self-locking, and self-latching gate, with the latch located not less than four (4) feet above grade and the fence fully installed prior to filling the pool with water. While the increased fence height was intended to improve safety, studies have shown that barrier height alone has not provided the increased level of safety that was intended. Effective pool safety depends on a combination of barrier visibility, opening limitations, climb resistance, material restrictions, and gate functionality, rather than height alone. Limitations of the Current Asbury Requirements 1. Height Alone Does Not Address Key Safety Risks Increasing fence height does not regulate several critical safety elements, including: • Maximum opening sizes within the fence, • Climbability of fencing materials such as chain-link, • Handholds or footholds that allow scaling of the barrier. • These elements are expressly addressed in the ICC pool fencing requirements but are not included in the current Asbury guidelines. 2. Lack of Visibility Through the Fence The ICC pool fencing requirements place importance on visibility through the barrier, allowing clear observation of the pool area from outside the enclosure. This visibility improves: • Passive supervision, • Early detection of unsafe conditions, • Rapid response in the event of an emergency. The current Asbury code does not include a visibility requirement and allows fencing designs that may completely obstruct views into the pool area. Reduced visibility can delay recognition of hazardous or emergency conditions, undermining overall pool safety. Page 4 of 32 3. Lack of Manufacturer-Certified Pool Fence Systems Fence manufacturers commonly design and certify pool-specific fencing systems to meet ICC and other nationally adopted pool safety standards. These systems are engineered as a coordinated safety package that includes: • Controlled opening sizes, • Anti-climb materials, • Compatible self-closing and self-latching gates. Because the six-foot fence requirement is not a standard pool-safety configuration, manufacturers generally do not produce six-foot fencing systems that are certified or specifically designed to meet these additional pool-safety criteria. This limits the availability of purpose-built, safety-tested pool fencing options. 4. Increased Cost with Reduced Safety Reliability Six-foot fencing systems are significantly more expensive than standard 48-inch pool fencing systems due to increased material and installation costs. However, this added cost does not necessarily improve safety when other critical safety features—such as opening limitations, visibility, and climb resistance— are not required. As a result, the current approach: • Increases construction costs for property owners, • Reduces access to manufacturer-engineered pool safety systems, • Provides less reliable safety outcomes than lower-height fences designed and certified specifically for pool safety compliance. Advantages of Adopting the ICC Pool Fencing Requirements Adopting the ICC pool fencing requirements would: • Limit openings to a maximum of four (4) inches; • Regulate chain-link fencing and other climbable materials; • Promote use of nationally recognized, manufacturer-supported pool fencing systems; • Reduce unnecessary costs while improving overall safety effectiveness; • Improve consistency in plan review, inspections, and enforcement. These provisions function together as a comprehensive safety system, rather than relying primarily on fence height. Recommendation I respectfully request that the Asbury Building Code Board: • Adopt 2024 ISPSC Section 305 Barrier Requirements by reference, replacing the current height-based approach with a comprehensive, safety-oriented standard; and • Apply the ICC requirements to new pool installations and substantial modifications, ensuring alignment with nationally recognized pool safety practices. Page 5 of 32 As shown in Appendix A, ISPSC Section 305 establishes a comprehensive pool barrier safety system addressing opening size, climb resistance, and gate behavior as well as several other safety elements not fully addressed by the current Asbury height-based requirement. Conclusion The current six-foot fence requirement has increased costs and limited access to manufacturer-certified pool fencing systems without providing the intended improvement in safety. Adoption of the ICC pool fencing requirements would establish a more reliable, cost-effective, and supervision-friendly approach, incorporating visibility, opening restrictions, and material limitations that collectively enhance pool safety.

Overall, the ordinance has functioned effectively and continues to meet property insurance standards. That said, periodic review is appropriate, particularly when safety is involved, and concerns raised by property owners deserve thoughtful consideration. With respect to pool fencing, the Asbury Building Code Commission has adopted standards that are more restrictive than those outlined in the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC). The language in Chapter 156.11 was carefully reviewed by the Commission and approved by the City Council with a strong emphasis on safety—particularly the protection of young children. I participated in portions of these code development discussions. My comments regarding the proposed changes submitted by Alexis Steger are as follows:  Electrical Requirements: These remain among the most critical safety components and are already comprehensively addressed through the City’s adoption of the International Residential Code (IRC) and the National Electrical Code (NEC).  Item #1 – Fence Height and Openings: The requirement for a 6-foot-high fence with a maximum 6-inch opening is widely adopted by municipalities and has proven effective in preventing access by toddlers, both in terms of climbing and passage through the fence.  Item #2 – Fence Visibility: The current code does not require visibility through fencing. This omission is intentional, allowing property owners the option of privacy where desired.  Item #3 – Availability of Compliant Fencing: There have been no reported issues regarding the availability of fencing systems that meet the 6-foot requirement. Such systems are widely available and commonly used.  Item #4 – Cost Considerations: Historically, cost has not been raised as a concern by property owners installing pools under the current code requirements. Recommendation to the Building Code Commission: The existing Asbury Swimming Pool Code provides well-established, widely accepted safety measures for residential pool fencing. It is generally consistent with neighboring jurisdictions, such as the City of Dubuque (see Dubuque Code 14-9-3), with the primary distinction being Asbury’s 6-foot fence height requirement—a standard that is also commonly required across Page 13 of 32 many Iowa municipalities. The current code has demonstrated effectiveness over time without imposing undue hardship on property owners. Based on this, I recommend maintaining the existing code as written. TO: Elizabeth Bonz, City Administrator FROM: Craig Elskamp, Building Inspector Re: 4/21/26 Pool Code Proposed Changes from Alexis Steger, 2088 Legacy Heights Ridge (attached) Date: April 22, 2026 The current Asbury Pool Code (Chapter 156.11 of the Asbury Code of Ordinances) has been in e ect for over 20 years and amended in 2014 to specifically address fencing requirments. Essentially, the ordinance that is currently in place has been working very well, and meets property insurance requirements. That being said, when it comes to safety it never hurts to re-evaluate and the concerns of property owners should not be taken lightly. As far as fencing around pools is concerned, the Asbury Building Code Committee has adopted a code that is more strictive than the ICC pool code (ISPSC). The language adopted in Chapter 156.11 Swimming Pools was carefully reviewed by the Building Code Committee and adopted by the City Council with safety in mind, particularly that of young toddlers. I was part of some of these code development meetings. My comments on the proposed changes that Alexis Steger has brought forward for consideration are: - Electrical requirements, are arguably the most important, and those are covered in the Asbury code via the adopted ICC (IRC) as well as the NEC. -Regarding item #1: You’ll find that most cities have adopted the 6’ high / 6” opening fence requirement. It has historically been proven to be e ective and keep toddlers out as far as preventing climbing over and negotiating through the fence. -Regarding Item #2: Visibility through the fence, is currently not included in the Asbury code. Privacy, if so desired, was purposely meant to be allowed. -Regarding Item #3: I have never received any comments regarding lack of available 6’ fence systems, in fact it’s very prevalent. -Regarding Item #4: Fence cost has never been mentioned by past property owners who have installed pools. Recommendation to the Building Code Commission: The current Asbury Swimming Pool Code provides universally accepted safety measures for pool fencing. It is similar to our neighbor (City of Dubuque – See Dubuque Code 14-9-3) with the exception of the 6’ high fence requirement. Most Page 14 of 32 other cities in Iowa do require the 6’ height. The current Asbury code has been proven to work, doing so without posing any hardships to property owners.
