The purpose of this article is to protect the health, safety,
and welfare of Village residents by providing guidelines and standards
for the types of fences and walls erected on any lot in the Village.
A fence up to four feet in height, and any exclosure fence, may be erected or constructed at any location on any lot, subject to the limitations set forth above in §
305-99.
A fence that exceeds four feet in height may be erected or constructed,
provided that either:
B. Any portion of a fence that exceeds four feet in height and that
is located between a side or rear property line and the required yard
setback, as well as any exclosure fence that is erected at any location
on the lot, must be constructed so that:
(1)
Any portion of such fence that is more than four feet in height,
when viewed from a position that is at a right angle to the face of
the fence, is at least 90% open; and
(2)
All of the materials of such fence are not brightly colored.
(3)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, chain-link fencing will not be permitted for the portion of a fence over four feet in height, even if such fence material otherwise satisfies requirements in Subsection
B(1) and
(2).
C. No fence exceeding four feet in height, excluding exclosure fences,
shall be allowed between the front property line and the required
front yard setback.

front yard setback shall not exceed 75% of the total linear front
property line of any parcel of land.
No fence, including exclosure fences, exceeding eight feet in height may be erected or constructed at any location on any lot, unless it satisfies the height limitations of §§
305-18,
305-27 and 305-37 and the yard setback limitations of §§
305-19,
305-28 and
305-38.
Swimming pools are required to be enclosed by fences in accordance
with the applicable provisions of New York State law.
