Pool-barrier height rules versus corner-lot visibility limits — a stepped fence routing that satisfied both statutes with no variance needed.
A St. Pete corner lot needed a fence that simultaneously satisfied the residential pool barrier statute (48-inch minimum, self-closing gates) and the corner-lot height limit (36 inches inside the visibility triangle) — two rules that collide exactly at the street corner.
We routed the pool barrier line to stay entirely outside the visibility triangle, stepping the fence height from 6 ft to 4 ft along the secondary frontage, marked both self-closing gate locations swinging outward from the pool, and printed both code references on the sheet.
Approved first-pass with the barrier inspection passing on the same routing shown on the plan.

Local-rule reminder: tool results and project examples are planning aids, not an approval guarantee. Your building or planning department makes the final determination.
