10-4C-14 Other Requirements

1. Landscaping: Landscaping requirements shall be in accordance with Chapter 10-9. All open areas between the front lot line and the rear line of the main building, except driveways, parking areas, walkways, utility areas, improved decks, patios, porches, etc., are encouraged to be maintained with suitable landscaping. 2. Trash Storage: No trash materials, or wrecked, inoperable, unlicensed, or abandoned vehicles or equipment shall be stored in an open area. All such materials must be screened from public streets and adjacent properties with an opaque fence or hedge or must be stored within an enclosed building. 3. Walls and Fences: a. Fence Permit Required: No fence, opaque hedge or screening material shall be constructed, erected, or installed without first obtaining a fence permit from the city. Approval of said permit shall be solely for the purpose of approving height, type of fence material, and placement in all Zones. If replacing an existing fence, no permit is required unless altering the footprint, material type or height of the fence in all Zones. b. Side and Rear Yard Fences: All new multi-family dwelling units must install a sight obscuring fence at least 6 feet tall around the interior side and rear sides of the property at the time of obtaining a building permit or expansion. (This section does not supersede height requirements for front yard fences listed below.) c. Clear Vision/corner lot: Notwithstanding the preceding subsection, solid or sight obscuring fences located within a triangular area formed by the property lines connecting them at points twenty-five feet (25') from the intersection of the property lines may not exceed three feet (3’) in height. Chain-link or other similar fences that do not block vision may not exceed four feet (4') in height in that area. d. Front Yard Fences: In any front yard, chain-link or similar fences, which do not block vision, may be allowed up to four feet (4’) in height. Solid or sight obscuring fences may not exceed three feet (3’) in height in such front yards. This provision shall not be interpreted as to prohibit the erection of any open mesh type fence enclosing elementary or secondary school sites or public parks. e. In no case shall such a privacy wall extend into the clear vision area of a corner lot as defined by Section 10-8-8 of this Title; nor shall it be a sight distance hazard to vehicular or pedestrian traffic. f. Solid Type Fence Defined: A solid type fence is one that is closed sufficiently to block view of traffic.
