RE: BC Dexters 2nd Addition, Lot 1, Block 14

Dear Ms. Hruby,
You received a letter dated August 21, 2007 regarding an unfenced pool on your property. You were
given until September 7, 2007 to either remove the pool or apply for a building permit to install a fence around
the pool. On September 17,2007, your property was re-inspected and it appears you deflated the pool pursuant
to the request from the City.
We appreciate your efforts to comply with the City Code; however, the pool is a still a potential danger
if it were to be reinflated. Therefore, if you wish to keep the pool in place, you will need to make arrangements
to have the appropriate fence installed or sign and return the attached agreement indicating you will deflate the
pool whenever it is not being supervised (Please note the agreement must be notarized. Notaries are available
at city hall). If you plan to construct a fence, a building permit is required and may be obtained at Blair City
Hall, 218 South 16th Street, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Otherwise, please remove and store the pool in a safe place. Please notify city hall of your intentions by
Monday, October 1, 2007. If you have any questions, feel free to contact either Brenda Wheeler or myself at
(402) 426-4191. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
Sincerely,) I ..f}

RE: BC Dexters 2nd Addition Lot 1, Block 14

Dear Ms. Hruby,
It has come to the city's attention that you have an above-ground swimming pool on your
property located at 543 N. 20th Avenue that does not have the appropriate barrier surrounding it.
According to the 2006 International Building Code adopted by the City of Blair, any swimming
pool that can hold over 24 inches of water must have a four foot barrier (fence or wall)
surrounding the pool. The sole reason for the barrier is for safety by controlling access to the
swimming pool. Enclosed is a copy of the code with the relevant sections highlighted.
Please make arrangements to have the appropriate fence installed or the pool removed no
later than Friday, September 7, 2007. A follow up inspection will be completed on or about this
date to ensure the fence has been constructed or the pool removed. Also, a building permit to
install a fence is required and may be obtained at Blair City Hall, 218 South 16th Street, Monday
through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact either Brenda Wheeler or myself at (402)
426-4191. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
