§ 6-92. Fences.

Front fencing past the front edge of a residence or building is only allowed in an A-l zoning district. A-2, A-3, A-4, and A-5 PUD zoning districts can have front fencing but cannot be past the front edge of the residence or building. Side and rear fencing is allowed in all districts. All fencing must meet the following criteria:

(1)

Fences not more than eight feet in height are permitted, provided that said fences are constructed of wood, concrete, brick, wrought iron or other materials approved by the Building Official and the materials are architecturally and aesthetically consistent with the surrounding area.

(2)

On a corner lot, no shrubbery, when mature height is greater than 18 inches, may be planted within the area created by a straight line connecting two points that are respectively 30 feet along the side and front property lines from a street intersection.

(3)

Fences should be constructed in such a way as to not be an obstruction or change the natural drainage of water. Solid front fencing is not permitted, except in A-1 PUD Zoning District.

(4)

Front gates must be wide enough as to provide access for any and all emergency vehicles.

(5)

Any shrubbery, when mature height is greater than 18 inches, must not be within three feet of a fire hydrant.

(6)

No fence shall encompass any fire hydrant.
