| Outdoor play area was not enclosed by fence with a minimum height of 4 feet. The top of the fence, less than six feet, was not free from protrusions. Outdoor play area was not enclosed by fence with a minimum height of 4 feet. I remeasured the both playground fence heights. Both had short areas where the fence was below 4 feet, but Ms. Renfro dug it out during my visit, and I remeasured it. There was a heavy rain the night before and Ms. Renfro stated that she always has issues with the mulch washing down the hill causing the fence to become shorter. This violation was corrected during today’s visit. However, we discussed that more rain is expected and there needs to be a long-term plan. Ms. Renfro stated that she did not want to add lattice or plastic tubing to the top due to it looking tacky. | |||
