No certificate of occupancy shall be issued until said fence, improvements have been duly installed. If privacy and/or ornamental fences are part of the subdivision amenities, they shall be no more than 6 to 8 feet in height and architecturally compatible with the type of housing scheduled for the subdivision.

Ornamental fencing, plantings, or rock gardens may be used to define the corners of a lot, however, they shall not impair visibility at intersections of driveway with the street, and street with street. No fencing shall be placed upon a utility easement without appropriate approval.
