North Chicago Zoning Ordinance Section 4.11.8.1.4 exempts swimming pools with raised decks at least 4 feet 6 inches above grade from the separate fence requirement, as the raised deck serves as a barrier.

The pool area depth greater than 24 inches requires a barrier per the sales inspection checklist.
