For the purpose of this chapter, the following definitions shall apply unless the context clearly indicates or requires a different meaning.
FENCE. Any structure serving as an enclosure, barrier, or boundary. While FENCES are typically made of posts, boards, wire, or rails, as used in this chapter, FENCE also includes any hedge or other plant growth which is planted or maintained to serve as an enclosure, barrier, or boundary.
HEIGHT. The height of a fence measured from the top of the fence to the ground.
LOT. A parcel of land, whether legally described or subdivided as one or more lots or parts of lots, located within a single block and which is occupied or intended for occupancy by one principal building or principal use.

LOT LINE, FRONT. The boundary of a lot which is along a street. On a corner lot, the street on which the main entrance of the structure is located forms the FRONT LOT LINE. When a new principal structure is erected, the lot owner may select which lot line will be the FRONT LOT LINE.
