(1) Such ground stations or antennas shall contain no graphic message or advertising.

A. Such stations or antennas not mounted on the roof of a primary or accessory structure shall be located in the rear yard only and shall not exceed an above-ground height of fourteen (14) feet.
B. Such stations or antennas not be located within fifty (50) feet of a public right of way or within thirty (30) feet of a rear or side lot line and shall be not closer than fifty (50) feet from a lot line or a Residential District.
(3) Roof-mounted stations or antennas shall comply with the following conditions and requirements:
A. Such stations or antennas shall be mounted directly on the roof of a primary or accessory structure and shall not be mounted on appurtenances such as chimneys, towers or spires.

(4) No more than one (1) dish-type antenna will be permitted on any one (1) lot.
(b) Accessory Fences, Walls and Hedges. The intent of these provisions is to outline the regulations for accessory fences, walls and hedges in nonresidential districts. Such structures are permitted in order to: provide for orderly transition between land uses; protect and screen private; give security and privacy; and provide a physical and visual barrier; reduce wind and modify climate; define property lines; create and define outdoor storage space; and generally improve the aesthetic appearance of a site.
(1) Other permissible locations. Fences, walls or hedges may be erected on public recreation areas, school grounds and in Industrial Districts, and are not subject to the requirements of this section, but no such fence, structure or planting shall be erected or maintained with twenty (20) feet of the corner so as to interfere with traffic visibility across the corner.
(2) Security fences. No barbed wire, other sharp-pointed material or electrically charged material shall be used in the construction of a fence, except to fence potentially hazardous areas or for security purposes in high risk areas, and only upon approval of the Police Department.
