Ornamental fences not over four feet high may project into or may enclose any front or side yard, and fences enclosing rear yards may be six feet high. In nonresidential districts, an open fence through which clear vision is possible from one side to the other on a horizontal plane, and such openings occupy 50% or more of the area of the fence, may be erected in the rear yard to a maximum height of ten feet. Fences intended solely for enclosure of tennis courts, batting cages or other similar structures shall be exempt from the maximum height requirements of this section. In no event shall any electrified or barbed wire fence be erected or retained. Fences must be maintained in sound condition such that they are fully standing. No fence shall be erected in any location that interferes with the line-of-sight of motorists using public or private roadways. A zoning permit must be obtained from the Zoning Administrator for any fence erected in the town.
