Fences (enclosing type) of residential or commercial properties that are between the principal building and a street and parallel to, or nearly parallel to the front lot line and front wall of the principal building, are permitted provided that height of such devices does not exceed forty-two inches (42') from the ground to the highest point of the fence unless the fence is used for a public pool, as defined in Section 1117.07 of this Chapter. For fences that are no closer to the front line than the principal structure and parallel to or nearly parallel to a side lot line, man-made fences or screening devices shall not exceed six feet (6') in height. For fences that are behind a principal structure and parallel to or nearly parallel to a rear lot line, man-made fences or screening devices shall not exceed six feet (6') in height on the side or rear of lot. The fence may be built on the property line, provided that the property owner has determined the location of the property line and has installed the fence with the smooth side facing the adjacent property. A zoning permit is required accompanied by a residential boundary survey denoting lot lines and monumentation.
