Above-ground pools in Saint Michael are regulated by Sec. 155.054 with the same setbacks as in-ground pools (10 ft side, 15 ft rear, 10 ft from principal structure) but may use a shorter 4-foot non-climbing fence or a latchable rigid cover for safety.
Sec. 155.054 treats above-ground and in-ground pools identically for setbacks and permit requirements. The relaxed barrier — 4-foot non-climbing fence or latchable cover — recognizes that the pool wall itself provides part of the climb-resistance. Owners may remove the pool's access ladder when the pool is unattended in lieu of fully fencing, provided the ladder cannot be replaced from outside the pool by a small child. Drainage must be directed at least 5 feet onto the owner's lot. A separate permit is still required.
Operating without a permit or barrier is a misdemeanor under Sec. 10.99 — up to $1,000 / 90 days fine. The city can order the pool drained.
