(A) Customary materials. Fences and walls shall be constructed of customary materials, including solid wood, brick, masonry, stone, wrought iron, decorative metal materials or products designed to resemble these materials. Where specific materials are specified for particular types of screening or buffering fences or walls, all other fence materials are prohibited.
(B) Finished side to outside. Wherever a fence or wall is installed, if one side of the fence or wall appears more “finished” than the other (i.e., one side has visible support framing and the other does not), then the more “finished” side of the fence shall face the perimeter or outside of the lot, rather than facing the interior of the lot.
(C) Uniformity of materials on a single lot side. All fencing or wall segments located along a single lot side shall be composed of a uniform material and shall be of a uniform color.
(D) Maintenance required. All fences and walls shall be maintained in good repair and in a safe and attractive condition, including, but not limited to, replacement of missing, decayed or broken structural and decorative elements. All fences and walls shall receive regular structural maintenance to prevent and address sagging and weathering of surfaces visible from the public right-of-way. Any deteriorated, damaged or decayed fence materials shall be promptly repaired and any fence or wall post or section that leans more than 20 degrees from vertical shall be promptly repaired to correct that condition.
