The maintenance of materials that would be considered a public nuisance under this subchapter shall be lawful if such materials are shielded from public view in accordance with the following standards:
(A) When fences are used for shielding, the boards may be spaced and/or slanted to reduce wind load. The space between boards when viewed from a broadside may not be more than one half inches.
(B) No more than one of the approved shielding materials shall be used on any one side of a shielding fence.
(C) The fencing is to be maintained by the property owner or occupant in a neat and workmanlike manner and shall be replaced and/or repaired when necessary.
(D) Screening with trees and shrubs must provide a similar degree of shielding at all times of the year. Trees and shrubs may best be used in conjunction with other shielding materials. A berm may also be used, provided the slopes of the berm are covered and graded smooth, with not less than three inches of top soil, and seeded with a weed free seed mix.
(E) Any shielding must conform to all local zoning, planning, building, and protective covenant provisions and shall be of sufficient height that none of the violation on the premises is visible to public view.
(F) The material being shielded may not present a threat to public health and safety.
