(CR 04-052)
An order affecting chs. Comm 90 and 2, relating to design and construction of public swimming pools and fees. Effective 2-1-05.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
The agency received hearing comments from seven individuals; one was from another state agency (Department of Health and Family Services, DHFS); one from Sen. Ron Brown's office; and the others were from small business. The small business comments originated from three pool designers/contractors and one manufacturer of interactive play attractions. The Wisconsin Innkeepers Association also submitted comments.
Comments later received at the legislative committee review step which precipitated a germane modification included:
This modification consists of changes dealing with three aspects of the code: who can request the final inspection of a pool, floor drain specifications and the number of plumbing fixtures required at public swimming pools and water attractions. A specific description of the changes follows.
Under Treatment Section 11b., a change is hereby proposed that would allow the construction contractor to call for the final inspection of pool construction.
Under Treatment Section 33., a change is hereby proposed that would clarify that floor drains are not required in dressing areas, but where floor drains are installed they must have drain openings that are no larger than ½ inch in width or diameter.
Under Treatment Section 35., a change is hereby proposed to Table 90.16 that would reduce (from the original proposal) the number of public toilets, urinals and showers required at small public pools and water attractions located in hotels and motels.
Also, four editorial changes to Table 90.16 are hereby proposed to correct typographical errors found since the original rule proposal was forwarded for legislative committee review. These changes are necessary to properly communicate that for large pools the number of public toilets required for females must be twice the number of toilets and urinals required for males in order to provide equal speed of access as required by section 101.128 of the statutes.
