Walls, hedges, or vision barrier fences which are located within 25 feet from
the street property line shall not exceed 36 inches in height, unless approval is obtained from the Public Works Director and Public Safety Director after review of the site plan and the property and a determination is made that such wall, hedge, or vision will not affect the safety of motorist or pedestrians. Fences may be six feet in height if they are not a vision barrier fence.
The Public Works director and Public Safety Director will not only inspect the involved property, but will inspect the streets, intersections, sidewalks, and driveways which may be impacted by such a wall, hedge, or vision barrier fence.
