It shall be the policy of the Village and of
this article to encourage the maintenance of visual openness and to
discourage the erection of fences, such as privacy fences, which create
substantial visual barriers between and among neighboring residential
properties in the Village. In addition to the criteria set forth in
all relevant design review provisions of this chapter, the design and materials used in the construction of all
fences shall aesthetically enhance the areas in which they are located.
Accordingly, chain link and similar type wire fences shall be generally
prohibited, except where specific findings are made that such a fence
in a particular case does not conflict with the provisions of this
article.
