The following requirements shall apply to a fence in any zoning district:
(a) It is the responsibility of the installer to verify property line locations, and to install the fence completely on the subject property.
(b) All fences shall be of uniform design, and otherwise well maintained.
(c) The maximum height for a fence is six (6) feet, unless specifically regulated otherwise. Where a fence encloses a school ground, public playground, public swimming pool, sports courts, sports fields, or other public areas, the maximum height is ten (10) feet.
(d) All fences shall display the finished side of the fence to adjacent properties and the public right-of-way. Fence posts shall not face to adjacent properties or the public right-of-way.
(e) Living fences (constructed out of landscape materials) shall be trimmed so as not be a nuisance to abutting properties. Such fences shall be limited to a maximum of three (3) feet in height in the side and front yards and eight (8) feet in height in the rear yard. In the front yard of a lot, a living fence is permitted subject to:
(1) The fence is parallel to the front building line; and
(2) Is not more than eight (8) feet from the front of the building; and
(3) Is a maximum height of three (3) feet.
(f) Electronically charged fences, barbed wire fences, and razor wire are not permitted in the City.
(g) No fence shall be permitted beyond the rear corners of the principal structure on any lot, unless specifically permitted herein. Notwithstanding this provision or Figure 1105.04-1, in a residential zoning district a fence parallel with the rear building line may be installed beyond the rear corners of the principal structure to encompass a side door plus a maximum of three (3) feet towards the front building line, where the principal structure has no rear door but has a side door.
