(a)

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 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; except, as follows:

(1)

Fences constructed with materials that can be seen through such as chain link, garden wire or similar shall not exceed four feet in height; and

(2)

Chain-link fences surrounding lots used for public recreational facilities shall not exceed eight-feet in height.

(Ord. 491 §1(part), 1992).

(Ord. No. 806, § 2, 9-20-2011)

(a)

Inter-sections-Requirement. A clear vision area shall be maintained on the corners of all property adjacent to the intersection of two streets. A clear vision area shall contain no sight-obscuring or obstructing planting, fence or other temporary or permanent obstruction from the top of the curb or, where no curb exists, from the established centerline grade of the street, except that trees exceeding two and one-half feet in height may be permitted if all branches and foliage are removed to a height of eight feet above the top of the curb.

(b)

Intersections-Measurement. A clear vision area shall consist of a triangular arch two sides of which are curb lines (or street edge lines) and the third side of which is a line across the corner of the lot connecting the ends of the other two sides. The size of the clear vision area is determined by the distance from the intersection of the two street lines to the third side, measured along the street. The required size is as follows:

(1)

In a residential district the distance determining the size of a clear vision area shall be thirty feet.

(2)

In all other use districts the distance determining the size of a clear vision area shall be fifteen feet, except that where the angle of intersection between two streets is less than thirty degrees the city may require a greater distance.

(c)

General Requirement. Sight-obscuring fences or plantings shall be set back from public roadways when and as necessary to prevent sight obstruction of such roadway from existing roads, alleys or private driveways, provided that such required set back distance shall not exceed fifteen feet from the right-of-way line of such public roadway.

(Ord. 491 §1(part), 1992).

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.

(Ord. 491 §1(part), 1992).
