A. All fences constructed in the City shall
harmonize with its surroundings. The fence should be level with the
ground if the ground is fairly level, and it should either step down
or follow the contour of a steep slope. The size of the fence should
be in proportion to the site, neither dominating nor being dwarfed
by its setting. The materials shall be in keeping with the house on
the lot.
B. Fences
constructed in the City shall be:
1.
No fence accessory to a residential
use may exceed four (4) feet in height forward of the front line of
the main building or beyond the required building setback line on
corner lots whenever the fence is located forward of the rear line
of the main building.
2.
No fence accessory to any use may
exceed six (6) feet in height except within thirty (30) feet of the
intersection of two (2) street lines, in which case the fence shall
be no more than thirty (30) inches in height, unless due to special
circumstances approved by the Building Inspector. Those special circumstances
shalt be documented by the issuance of a special permit for the fence
to be erected to a greater height than provided herein.
3.
The following types of fences shall
be allowed to be constructed and all other fences must receive a special
permit and approval by the Director of Community Development. In all
cases the Director of Community Development may require additional
information, but generally the following are guidelines for the types
of fences to be constructed:
a.
Picket fence: this fence should be
of a smaller height than six (6) feet;
b.
Stacked rails: the rails can be four
by four (4 x 4), six by six (6 x 6), and they are stacked on top of
each other and either spiked together or threaded onto vertical pipes,
or rebar. The rails are to be staggered for stability;
c.
Post and rail fence: may be built
from split or dimensional lumber;
d.
Grape stake fence: normally made
of split redwood;
e.
Wire fence: may be a chain link fence
or a welded wire fabric;
C. The above list of types of fences is not meant to be all inclusive; however, the Director of Community Development must approve the type of fence and issue a permit, and it must meet the requirements of Subsection
(A) of this Section.
[R.O. 2016 § 530.040; CC 1994 § 15.725]
