(1) Fences, walls and hedges may be erected to permitted building height for the zoning district in
which they are located when within the buildable area, provided that any such structure over six feet high requires a building permit.
(2) View-obscuring fences, walls, and hedges may not exceed three feet in height within any required front yard. Corner lots in residential zones are allowed a view obscuring fence, on the side of the house that does not face the street only, up to six feet in height at the property line provided the fence is at no time located less than 5 feet behind the front facade. No fences, walls, or hedges over two feet in height may be located in the clear view zone.
(3) Where a fence, wall, or hedge is located along a property line separating two lots and there is a difference in the grade of the properties on the two sides of the property line, the fence, wall, or hedge may be erected or allowed to the maximum height permitted on either side of the property line.
