Sec. 27.178. - Under width streets.

No building or structure shall be erected or maintained on a lot or parcel of land which abuts a street or highway having only a portion of its required width dedicated, unless the yards provided and maintained in connection with such building or structure have sufficient width or depth in that portion of the lot or parcel of land needed to complete the street or highway width, plus whatever width or depth of yards is required on the lot or parcel of land by this zoning ordinance.

(Ord. No. 2008-04 § 1.)

Sec. 27.179. - Fences, walls and hedges.

(a)

Maximum Fence and Wall Height in Required Side and Rear Yards.

1.

A fence or wall not more than six feet in height may be located along the side or rear yard lines, provided such fence, or wall does not extend into the required front yard, and further provided that these provisions shall not be so interpreted to prohibit the erection of a fence enclosing an elementary or high school site, if such fence does not project beyond the front line of the building.

2.

Fences may have a maximum height of eight feet on all boundaries within the M zones. Such fences, if equipped with overhead angle barriers, should have the barriers turned toward the property along the street sides, and the combined height of fence and angle barriers is not to exceed the eight-foot limit.

(b)

Maximum Fence and Wall Height in Required Front Yards. Except as otherwise permitted in this zoning ordinance, fences and walls shall not exceed a height of forty-eight inches in any residential zone within the required front yard; provided, however, that fences and walls shall not exceed a height of seventy-two inches in the A-1, commercial and industrial zones and multifamily projects with greater than three units or hinder driver's line of sight.

(c)

Barriers to Separate an Area from a Street or Highway. A barrier wall not to exceed six feet in height, serving to separate an area, including several lots or parcels of land from the adjoining street or highway, may be established within five feet of a street or highway provided said wall is approved by the planning director and is erected in accordance with the provisions of sections 27.261 through 27.268 (Site Plan Review) of this zoning ordinance.

(d)

Permitted Openings in Required Walls. Where a solid masonry wall is required by this zoning ordinance, openings not greater than twenty feet are permitted for ingress and egress, unless a driveway greater than twenty feet in width already exists or is required for safe access.

(e)

Graffiti Deterrence. Where solid masonry walls are used or required, an anti-graffiti coating shall be applied and landscaping shall be planted and maintained along those portions of the wall subject to public view to reduce the incidence of graffiti.

(f)

Barriers to Separate an Area from a Sidewalk. Landscaping shall be installed and maintained per the zoning ordinance between the sidewalk and barrier.
