Mr. Peter Gtady
3 Gables Circle RE: Swimming Pool
Salem,Ma 01970 Inspection - 6/9/81
Dear Mr. Grady:
I have received several complaints from concerned neighbors
regarding the fence surrounding your Swimming Pool.
After my inspection of the pool on 6/9/81 my determinations
are as follows.
Your attention is called to Section.Vll-Paragraph 6, Safety
Precautions of the Zoning Ordinance, enclosed.
It is the opinion of this Department that the wire fence
section does not conform to this Ordinance, and you are therefore
required to construct an acceptable fence that will conform to this
Ordinance.
Failure to do so will result in further action by this Department
as specified in the enclosed section IX of the Ordinance entitled
Violations.
Very truly yours,
Richard T. McIntosh
Inspector of Buildings
