      (3)   In a Class I Residential, Class II Residential or Class III Residential District no separate garage building shall be erected, except in a terrace or a retaining wall, less than sixty feet from a bordering street line. However, on lots of less than the usual depth or on corner lots, a separate garage building may be erected if it is located five feet from the lot line opposite the street line, provided it extends toward the street line from this location not more than twenty-five feet or is not less than twenty feet from the street line.

      (1)   No public garage, garage repair shop or filling station shall be erected or established which has any part of its proposed building structure located within 200 feet of the building structure of a public library, public school, church, playground, hospital, orphanage or children's home which existed on June 6, 1949, or for which a building permit has been issued or was in effect on such date.

      (2)   Nothing contained in this division shall be construed to permit any such institution now located in any district zoned for business, by acquiring premises therein or erecting an additional building thereon, to shorten the 200-foot limit between such institutional structure heretofore erected and such proposed garage or filling station structure, as defined in this Zoning Code.

      (3)   However, in the event that the governing body of any such public school, church, library, playground, hospital, orphanage or children's home files its consent in writing with the Zoning Administrator, a public garage, garage repair shop or filling station may be erected or established less than 200 feet but not less than fifty feet from the building structure of any such institution.

   (A)   Front Yard Fences. No fence which is more than three feet, six inches in height above the plane of the finished grade of the lots at the property line between lots shall be erected in any part of a front yard or side yard between the front of the foundation of the building nearest to the street and the front property line.

   (B)   Side and Rear Yard Fences. A fence erected on a side or rear property line shall not exceed six feet above the finished grade of the lot.

   (C)   Corner Lots. No fence which is more than three feet, six inches in height above the grade of the street shall be erected in both directions from the intersection of the streets.

   (D)   Vision Clearance and Fences. Because of the particular nature of a certain lot, should a fence cause an obstruction to vision for vehicular traffic, the City Engineer has the authority to require that the fence be taken down, or erected, constructed or maintained at a height that will not obstruct a vision to vehicular traffic, or to deny the erection, construction or maintenance of said fence.

   (E)   Construction and Maintenance. A fence permitted pursuant to this section shall be maintained in good condition, shall be structurally sound and installed in a workmanlike manner of materials normally used in fence construction and acceptable to the City Engineer, and shall be attractively finished on both sides at all times. The ground between such fence and the property line shall be maintained at all times.

   (F)   Prohibited Fences. No person shall erect or maintain any fence charged with electrical current. No person shall erect or maintain a barbed wire fence, razor blade-type fence or coils which abut or are adjacent to any public street or sidewalk or within any Residential District. This does not prevent the placement and use of not more than three strands of barbed wire on top of a fence other than a barbed wire fence, provided that such strands are not less than six feet above the ground, in other than a Residential District.

   (G)   Swimming Pools, Spas and Hot Tubs. The provisions of Appendix F in the CABO One and Two-Family Dwelling Code, as adopted in Section 1402.01 of the Building and Housing Code, shall control the design of barriers for residential swimming pools, spas and hot tubs.
