David, I found these in the County code...
From the county code:
http://co.hawaii.hi.us/countycode/County...apters.pdf
in the section: Section 5-1.0.133. Adding chapter 63.
Chapter 63 is added to read as follows:
Chapter 63. PUBLIC SWIMMING POOLS.
is this:
"Section 6309. Fences and Other Protective Devices. Every person in possession of land, either as
owner, lessee, tenant or licensee, upon which is situated a swimming, dipping or wading pool which
contains water 18 inches or more in depth at any point shall erect and maintain thereon a fence, wall or
other enclosure completely surrounding such pool or the property on which the pool is situated, sufficient
to make the pool inaccessible to small children; provided that a dwelling or other building which may
serve as a barrier, may be used as a part of such enclosure. Such fence, wall or other enclosure, including
gates, shall be at least 4-½ feet high (4 feet for residential swimming pools) and with openings that does
not allow passage of a 4 inch diameter sphere.
All gates or doors must be self-closing and equipped with a self-latching device capable of keeping
such gate or door securely closed, with latches placed at least 4 feet above ground or otherwise made
inaccessible from the outside to small children; provided that the door of any dwelling forming any part
of the enclosures hereinabove required need not be so equipped.
EXCEPTION: The provisions of this section shall not apply to any swimming, dipping, or wading
pool on the premises of a hotel as defined in the Zoning Code.*"
Do not know if this applies to residential.... but it reads like it does.... also found:
"Section 25-4-46. Projection of pools.
A pool constructed at-grade may extend any distance into a required yard or open space.
(1996, Ord. No. 96-160, sec. 2; ratified April 6, 1999.)25-4
Section 25-4-43. Fences and accessory structures.
(a) A perimeter boundary fence, wall or similar feature, six feet or less in height shall not be considered a
structure and shall be permitted without any front, side or rear yard requirements. In addition, a fence
which is constructed of strand material, such as barbed wire, hog wire, or chain link, which allows
“see-through” visibility is permitted to a height of eight feet without any front, side, or rear yard
requirements.
(b) No fence, wall, architectural feature, or other obstruction shall be placed or be without gates or openings
so as to prohibit complete access around any main building at all times.
© Any accessory structure, including any fence, or wall over six feet in height, architectural feature or water
tank, which is not connected to a building, may not extend into any required front, side or rear yard, but
may be located next to any building without any open space requirement.
