Motion made by Selectman Thomas O'Hara. Motion: I move the Town vote to approve Article 23 as written in the Warrant, with the exception of the phrase "or take any other action relating thereto." Motion passes unanimously at 8:05 PM. Article 24 To see if the Town will vote to amend the General By- law as follows: Replace Subsection 153-1 in its entirety with the following language: "All private outdoor swimming pools shall be fenced to prevent unauthorized entry to said pool(s), in accordance with the requirements of the Massachusetts State Building Code, as said Code may be amended from time to time." Or take any other action relating thereto. Submitted by the Building Department Explanation: This article is intended to have the same requirement for the height of a fence around a swimming pool as outlined under the Massachusetts State Building Code. As it now stands, the Town of Mashpee has a height requirement that is in conflict with the Massachusetts State Building Code. This will alleviate the confusion as to what height the fence is to be.
