Wherever in the Codified Ordinances, commercial or industrial fences are required, or when such fences are voluntarily installed, the following regulations shall be observed:
(a) Such fences may be topped with barbed wire placed on a forty-five degree angle arm away from the side of the fence that fronts a property line, public sidewalk or public right of way. A V-type arm carrying barbed wire shall be prohibited along a public sidewalk or public right of way.
(b) All fences shall be erected to withstand a fifteen pound horizontal wind pressure, shall be placed perpendicular to the ground and shall be substantially and properly supported according to standard practice.
(c) No fences may be entirely constructed of barbed wire, be in any way electrified or be topped with broken glass, spikes or other sharp-edged materials.
(d) Fence gates, doors and other obstructions shall not swing across sidewalks or a public right of way.
(e) Fences placed around public buildings, parks and playgrounds shall be exempt from the above fence requirements, except that no barbed wire is permitted and that, where a chain link fence is used, the upper remaining link shall be made smooth so as not to cause injury. (Ord. 580. Passed 2-9-84.)
