All fences, walls, shrubs, trees, signs or other obstructions shall be constructed and maintained in accordance with the following standards:

(a)

All fences, walls, and hedges, located in front of the minimum required front yard line as specified herein, shall not be constructed or maintained to a height exceeding four (4) feet above the grade of the lot.

(b)

All fences and walls located to the rear of the minimum required front yard setback shall not exceed eight feet in height. Fences or walls which conform to the minimum front, side and rear yards for buildings may be erected to any maximum height specified for a building on the lot or tract where such fence or wall is located

(c)

In addition to the provisions of (a) and (b) above, the following will apply to corner lots.

No fence, wall, shrub, tree, sign or other obstruction shall encroach into the area hereinafter defined as the twenty-five (25) foot visibility triangle. The limbs and foliage of trees existing as of April 1, 2009, may remain if an unobstructed cross-visibility at a level between three (3) feet and seven (7) feet in height from the road surface allowing for a four (4) foot visual clearance is maintained.

The twenty-five (25) foot visibility triangle is derived by measuring back twenty-five (25) feet along the curb (or edge of paved street if there is no curb) from the street corner of both streets, or other rights of way, that forms the point of intersection of the projection of the curb lines (or street paving if there is no curb) from the property. When both distances are measured, they will create two sides of the triangle. Then both sides of the triangle shall be connected by a line between both measured points. This completes the third side of the triangle and gives a line of angle to follow. All fences, walls, shrubs, trees, signs or other obstructions shall be located behind the measured triangle.

All fences, walls, shrubs, trees, signs or other obstructions shall be located behind the measured triangle. Only grass and/or groundcover will be permitted inside the triangle.

A.

Front yard set back is determined by the recorded lot orientation, not by address or orientation of structure.

B.

Maximum height for the front yard fence is [four feet] (4'). This includes any gates, arbors, entrances or other structures built into the fence.

C.

Maximum fence height other than the front yard is eight [feet] (8').

D.

Fences and landscaping on corner lots must adhere to the Twenty-five[-foot] (25') triangle requirement. As shown above, a fence shall be built on an angle. There shall not be any landscaping within the triangle area, other than ground cover and/or grass.

(d)

Vegetation on or within the Right-of Way, overhanging the paved street area, shall be maintained at a vertical clearance of fourteen (14) feet.
