REQUIREMENTS AND REGULATIONS
Walls and fences shall require zoning clearance prior to the issuance of a building permit. A plot plan should be submitted to the Development Department showing location of the existing residence, street and proposed fence (height and fencing material to be utilized).
No barbed wire, spike tips or electrically charged fences shall be permitted.
On all corner lots, fences and walls proposed for construction within any setback adjacent to a public street shall be submitted to the Planner for approval.

Fences shall be permitted in the front yard provided that the maximum fence height is three feet (3') and that the fence is decorative in nature.

Fences in these districts shall be limited to a height of six feet (6').
