With the exception of the industrial districts, a swimming pool is allowed as a conditional use; provided, that (i) it is not in any required front yard area, (ii) it is enclosed by a fence of at least five feet in height and (iii) is at least five feet from all lot lines.

Except as modified by this section, all lots shall abut upon a street other than an easement unless the planning commission grants approval to secure a building permit upon making a finding that the private easement is of adequate width, alignment, grade and restricted length to afford the same degree of safety as a public street.

Fences and hedge rows shall be permitted within or surrounding a lot in all zoning districts; provided, that within residential districts, fences shall not exceed three and one-half feet in height in any yard or required setback which abuts on a street other than an alley and six feet in height in any other yard. Fences enclosing swimming pools may exceed the requirements of this section but may not exceed eight feet in height.

The planning commission may rule that a use not specifically named in the allowed uses of a zoning district shall be included among the allowed uses if the use is of the same general type and is similar to the allowed use. However, this section does not authorize the inclusion of a use in a zoning district where it is not listed, when the use is specifically listed in another zoning district.
