In instances where there is a grade differential along a property line separating two (2) lots as a result of a retaining wall or topographic feature, a fence, hedge, wall, or other permitted screening device may be erected to the maximum height permitted on either side of the property line. Also, in instances where a fence runs along a sloped property line, a pre-manufactured rectangular fence panel of up to ten (10) feet in length or less may be installed horizontally to vertical posts such that one end of the panel is at grade level, and the other end is no more than two-tenths (0.2) of a foot above grade level for
each linear foot of fence panel. The area beneath the bottom of the fence and the ground may be filled or remain open, and the panel height may be the maximum permitted on either side of the property line.
