Vision: To be the Healthiest State in the Nation Rick Scott Governor Celeste Philip, MD, MPH Interim State Surgeon General May 2, 2016 Michael Salerno, General Manager SCANNED Harbour Ridge Yacht & Country Club BY 12600 Harbour Ridge Blvd. LUCI@ County Palm City, FL St. 34990 RE: Review of Application for Public Swimming Pool Operating Permit Harbour Ridge Lifestyle Center - Pool (DOH File # 56-60-1677363) 13400 NW Gilson Road, Palm City, FL 33490 Dear Mr. Salerno, On April 25, 2016 the Florida Department of Health (Department) acknowledged receipt of the operating permit application for the swimming pool with the receipt of an application and plans. Currently the swimming pool application is incomplete pending receipt of the information requested in the acknowledgement letter and construction. Since receiving the application the Department has reviewed the plans for both the swimming pool and the spa pool provided noting issues that will need to be resolved prior to issuance of the operating permits. These issues include the following: Item # Description 1 Pool shell free of designs which interfere with detection of human(s) in distress, algae, sediment, or other objects in pool. (Note: Sheet 2 of 5 shows a highlighted area on the top step. The area does not appear to be defined. Is this a mosaic or logo?) 2 Lap lanes and targets on non -competition pools to meet code. (Note: The plans have a note that the lap lane is to be 4 foot from the wall. However, the plans show the lap lane at only 3 foot based on the scale provided.) 3 All pool walls (except steps and spa coves) have minimum 15' clearance perpendicular to a tangent to the wall. (Interior step protrusion does not exceed 6') / Benches do not protrude into the 15' clearance requirement. (Note: This issue is associated with the distance between the wall and the bench seat in the stair area. The distance from the pool edge (top of stairs) to the bench seat appears to be less than 15 feet based on the scale provided.) 4 Comers shall be a minimum 90 degree angle. (Note: This is in the area of the stairs.) 5 Symmetrical pool designs with deep point at center have dual markings indicating depth at wall and at the deep point, followed by FEET or INCHES. (Note: Not indicated on the drawings.) 6 Handrails shall extend between 28" and 40" above the step or deck. (Note. Sheet 3 of 5 specifies the minimum height but not the maximum height for the stairs.) 7 Ladder treads are slip -resistant and the clearance between the ladder and pool wall is 3 to 6". Ladder bottom braces have end caps. Top rung is at or below water level on open gutter pools and max. 12" below deck/curb top on all others. (Note: Sheet 2 of 5 shows the tread detail with an open gutter.) 8 Structures located inside pool perimeter are additional part of the recirculation system and are not located less than 15' from any pool wall and are not located within the diving bowl area. (Note: Issue deals with the interior wall within the pool and Item 3. Will the wall be above the water level?)

(Notes: Sheet 5 of 5 shows "A" as the main drain at 6 inches and X" as the therapy main drain at 8 inches but the detail shows "A" on the therapy tank. Sheet 3 of 5 calls for two 6 inch lines. Without detailed elevations and drawdown calculations, sufficient flow into the Therapy Tank cannot be validated by the Department at this time.) 10 Pool is surrounded by min. 48' high fence with self -closing, self -latching, lockable gates opening away from pool. Latch is 54" above bottom of gate or min. 3" below the top of the gate on the pool side. Fence does not allow passage of 4" diameter sphere. Locks, if self-locking, may be 34 — 48 above floor or ground. (Note: Plans show the fence ending at the edge of the water which does not provide a sufficient barrier. The Department has required the fence to extend into the water.) Please note that many of the issues can be resolved during the initial inspections, others may have been addressed in the specifications just not found by the Department and others may require a variance if they cannot be resolved. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at 561-837-5995. Sincerely, Darrel J. Graziani, P.E., R.S., C.P.O.
