of the principal residential structure, may be six feet in height.
Fences and walls should complement the structural
style, type and design of the principal building. All structural supporting
members of the fence shall face the interior portion of the lot.
Fences and walls shall be erected in a manner
so as to permit the flow of natural drainage and shall not cause surface
water to be blocked or dammed to create ponding.
On corner lots, fences and walls shall be placed,
as to height and location, so as to maintain a clear sight triangle
for visibility at the street intersection.
Fences and walls shall be erected in a manner
so as not to create any sight vision restrictions pertaining to the
ingress and egress from any driveway whether be it for the property
in question or any neighboring properties.
Fences, where horses are kept as an approved
or permitted accessory use to a single-family dwelling as permitted
in the appropriate residential zones, shall be suitable for their
intended purpose, i.e. the corralling of said horses and/or livestock
and shall be at least four feet in height.
An exception to the fence standards as delineated
herein will be those fences which are constructed on properties where
industrial or agricultural uses are permitted. Fences and walls constructed
on these properties shall be exempt from the restrictions of this
subsection, as long as the fences or walls do not obstruct traffic
sight line distances and sight triangles as required at intersections,
except that no fence shall exceed eight feet in height from ground
level to very top, under any circumstances.
