§ 91.10 SHIELDING.

   The open storage, accumulations or presence of items or materials that would be considered a public nuisance under §§ 91.08 and 91.09 shall be lawful if such materials and vehicles are shielded from public view in accordance with the following standards.

   (A)   All shielding barriers must conform to all state and local zoning, planning, building and protective covenant requirements.

   (B)   All shielding barriers shall be of sufficient height and density to conceal any violation on the promises from public view.

   (C)   Anyhuman-made shielding barriers must be constructed of sound building materials. The barriers must be maintained by the property owner or occupant in a neat and workmanlike manner and shall be replaced when necessary.

   (D)   Shielding with shrubs and trees must provide a similar degree of shielding at all times of the year. Trees and shrubs may best be used in conjunction with other shielding materials.

   (E)   No more than one type of shielding materials shall be used on any one side of the property.

   (F)   The material being shielded may not present a threat to public health and safety.

   (G)   (1)   Plastics, tarps or other materials placed over junk vehicles are not acceptable shielding. Car covers specifically designed to attach tightly to and cover motor vehicles are acceptable for shielding.

      (2)   Up to two junk vehicles may be shielded by car covers at a single residential location. Car covers must be maintained and secured at all times, and cannot be ripped, torn or blown loose in the wind.
