[Ord. No. 465 § 1-1]
The intention of these requirements is to provide standards
for the protection of the public health and safety as well as aesthetic
values of adjacent property.
[Ord. No. 465 § 1-2]
At the intersection of two or more streets, no wall, fence,
hedge or other structure shall be erected to a height in excess of
30 inches above curb level, nor shall any other obstruction to vision
be permitted within the triangular area formed by the intersecting
street lines at points which are 25 feet distant from the point of
intersection, measured along the street line. Trees whose branches
are trimmed away to a height of at least 10 feet above curb level
shall be permitted.
[Ord. No. 465 §§ 1-1,
1-3]
On any lot in any residential or residential-commercial district,
no wall or fence shall be erected or altered so that the wall or fence
shall be over six feet in height, except agricultural fences which
shall not have a maximum height. Tennis courts in all zones may have
a permitted height of 12 feet and shall be restricted to chain link
material. A fence four feet or higher shall require a construction
permit.
[Ord. No. 465 § 1-4]
No fence shall be erected of barbed wire, or electrified or
topped with metal spikes or constructed of any material or in any
manner which may be dangerous to persons or animals. Such fences for
agricultural uses shall be permitted in the R-1 Zone. Fences in or
around utility or industrial uses may be topped with barbed wire provided
the fence, exclusive of the barbed wire, is a minimum of eight feet
in height.
[Ord. No. 465 § 1-5]
In any zone, walls or fences erected shall be maintained in
an aesthetically pleasing manner and any failure to do so shall be
subject to the Construction Code Official's order to repair or
replace the wall or fence in order to meet the requirements of this
section.
[Ord. No. 465 § 1-6]
In all zones, there shall be a fence not less than four feet
high completely enclosing any below-ground swimming pool and any other
swimming pool less than four feet above the ground. Each gate in a
pool fence shall be capable of being locked when not in use. Any above-ground
pool four feet or higher shall have its access way gated and locked
so as to provide the same restriction to access as any below-ground
pool or other pool less than four feet above the ground.
[Ord. No. 465 § 1-7]
The finished side of all fences shall be on the outside facing
away from the lot on which it is erected. The intent of this provision
is for safety purposes to prevent easy access from neighboring property.
[Ord. No. 465 § 1-8]
Nothing in this section prevents the use of plant materials
along any lot line in addition to the fence requirement, but plant
materials cannot be substituted for the fence. A wall or fence which
restricts the natural flow of drainage or causes stagnant water conditions
shall not be permitted. The wall or fence shall be ordered removed
or corrected by the owner upon direction of the Construction Code
Official.
