(a)
All swimming pools shall have a continuous deck at least five feet wide, including
the width of the coping, extending around the entire perimeter of the pool. In addition,
there shall be at least three feet of clear, unobstructed deck behind any diving stand,
guard stand, or other deck mounted equipment. All decks shall be constructed of continuous
poured concrete or other approved smooth, impervious material which shall have a smooth,
non-slip finish. All decks shall have a slope of not less than one to 48 or more than
one to 24 and shall be designed to conduct drainage away from the swimming pool in
a manner that will not create a slip hazard or contribute to the ponding of water.
All decks shall be properly supported and any fill under the decks shall be properly
compacted to prevent decks from settling. Roof run-off or other drainage shall not
be wasted onto the deck. All areas surrounding the deck shall have surface drainage
directed away from the pool deck area or be served by a drainage system approved by
the director.
(b)
Deck risers and steps shall comply with the VUSBC. (Ord. No. 4649, 3/13/10, Sec. 1)
