§ 91.65 SHIELDING REQUIREMENTS.

   The open storage, accumulation or presence of items or materials that would be considered a public nuisance under §§ 91.63 or 91.64 of this code shall be lawful if such materials and vehicles are shielded from public view in accordance with the following standards.

   (A)   All shielding barriers must conform to all local zoning, planning, building and protective covenant requirements.

   (B)   All shielding barriers shall be of sufficient height and density to conceal any violation on the premises from public view.

   (C)   Any human-made shielding barriers must be constructed of sound building materials. The barriers must be maintained by the property owner or occupant in a neat and professional manner and shall be replaced when necessary.

   (D)   Shielding with shrubs/trees must provide a similar degree of shielding at all times of the year.

   (E)   Not more than one type of shielding material shall be used on any one side of the property.
