(a) In residential districts fences shall be permitted not to exceed six feet in height along the rear line of a lot or parcel, nor over six feet high along the sideline of any lot or parcel, or parallel thereto and extending in no case beyond the front line of the main residential structure or forty-five feet from the right-of-way line, whichever is further from the right of way, with provision for screen planting sufficient to hide the fence from street view. Continuous fencing in height of at least four feet and no greater than eight feet in height shall be contained around all perimeters of in-ground swimming pools constructed after the effective date of this section.
(b) In the event stockade, board or similar fences having a finished and unfinished side are constructed, the finished side of the fence shall face towards contiguous adjoining properties and the unfinished side shall face towards the parcel upon which the fence is constructed.
(c) On corner lots with frontage on two streets, fences shall be no closer than forty-five feet from either right-of-way line nor extend further than the front building line of the main residential structure on the premises, whichever is further from the right of way. Any fence in a residential district shall be free of all advertising or other signs except signs of caution or warning. Any fence permitted in front of the required setback line, as a result of the positioning of a nonconforming structure, shall not exceed three feet in height in front of the required front of the required setback line. In the event that shrubbery or hedges or other similar landscaping is used in lieu of a fence, it shall comply with the same height and setback requirements as provided for fences, and shall be planted in the location so as not to overhang on any adjacent property.
