All fences shall be harmonious with the general
character of the neighborhood. Fences shall not obstruct visibility
for motorists entering and leaving a site or driving on a public highway
and shall pose no other danger to public safety. In cases where there
is uncertainty about any of these standards, the Zoning Enforcement
Officer shall make the final determination, after review by the Town
Engineer.
Fences no higher than six feet are permitted
by right anywhere on a lot. Fences constructed beyond the minimum
front, side and rear yard setback areas shall have the same height
restriction as for any other structure.
The above provisions for zoning permit and ZEO
review apply to properties which are not subject to approval of a
site plan or special permit by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
When such site plan or special permit is required under Article
XVIII
or
XIX of these regulations, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall
grant approval for any fences constructed prior to the issuance of
a zoning permit.
