Other special regulations shall be as follows.
(A) Visibility at intersections. On a corner lot, nothing shall be constructed, placed planted or allowed to grow in a manner so as to materially impede vision between two feet and seven feet above the mean grade of the lot within a visibility triangle. Further, no person shall permit the continuance of a visibility obstruction within the visibility triangle, as determined by the Zoning Administrator or his or her agent in accordance with this chapter, on any village right-of-way and adjacent to any property owned or controlled by the person after having received notice to remove the obstruction pursuant to this chapter. Any visibility obstruction within the visibility triangle, as determined by the Zoning Administrator or his or her agent in accordance with this chapter, shall be removed at the direction of the Zoning Administrator or his or her agent within ten days of having received notice to remove the obstruction pursuant to this chapter.
(B) Outdoor lighting requirements. All outdoor lighting installed upon private property for commercial, industrial and multi-family uses shall be fully shielded and constructed so that light rays emitted by the fixture are projected below the horizontal plain passing through the lowest point on the fixture from which light is emitted. All outdoor lighting shall be designed and installed so as to minimize uplight, spill-light and glare. The fixture shall be designed and installed so that no light source is visible at a point two feet or higher above ground level at the property line. Illumination beyond the property line shall not exceed 0.50 foot candles at a point five feet above ground level.
(C) Combination and division of zoning lots. Zoning lots shall be subject to the following requirements.
(1) Two or more lots may be combined to create a single zoning lot. Those lots shall be under the same ownership at the time of zoning approval for construction of any structure on the zoning lot. Zoning lots shall be located entirely within one zoning district. Upon construction of a structure or other improvements, the zoning lot shall be considered one lot for development review and zoning purposes.
(2) Creation of a zoning lot shall require imposition of deed restrictions, approved by the village, which irrevocably combine the lots into a single, larger tract or parcel.
(3) Once created, no zoning lot shall thereafter be divided into two or more zoning lots and no portion of any improved zoning lot shall be sold separately from the remainder of the zoning lot, unless permission to do so has been expressly granted by Board of Trustees of the village.
(D) Fences, hedges or walls. A permit is required prior to the installation of fencing.
(1) Fences, hedges or walls not more than four feet in height may project into or enclose any front yard between the right-of-way line and the established front yard setback line. Corner lots are considered to have two front yards for the purposes of these fencing regulations. Fences that project into or enclose any front yard must not be more than 50% opaque.
(2) On a corner lot, the visibility triangle requirements set forth in § 152.050(A) shall also be applicable.
(3) Fences or walls may project into or enclose side or rear yards provided the fences and walls do not exceed a height of six feet in residential districts and eight feet in commercial or industrial districts.
(4) Fences or walls may be allowed to exceed the height requirements in § 152.050(D) along interstate or railroad right-of-way, with approval of the Village Planner, provided the fence or wall does not exceed a height of eight feet.
(5) Fences that project into any required yard must be constructed so that the finished side of the fence faces neighboring properties.
(6) Electrical fences, barbed wire, and spikes are prohibited in all residential districts.
(7) Lots with an approved access approach that is interior to a subdivision and has an additional frontage on an exterior street, the exterior street frontage shall be considered a rear yard for the purposes of these fencing regulations.
