(a) Wood Pile Defined. As used in this section, "wood pile" means all wood, logs, twigs, branches, stumps and stakes, and includes wood items used for fireplaces or woodburning stoves, regardless of the amount or number of pieces of wood.
(b) Storage. No person shall maintain or store a wood pile in the City unless the wood pile meets the following storage specifications:
(1) Storage shall be permitted only on a secure rack, base or other device that keeps the wood one foot above the ground to prevent the infestation of rodents and vermin.
(2) Storage of the wood shall be in an orderly and neat fashion and the wood pile shall not be stacked higher than four feet from the ground on which the base is affixed.
(3) A wood pile shall be located in the back yard of a residential home, at least three feet from any paved sidewalk, driveway or right of way.
(4) A wood pile shall not be permitted in the side yard of a residential home, with the exception of corner lots where it is shown that it is impractical to store wood in the back yard.
