Anything in any other section of this subchapter to the contrary notwithstanding, any fence, or part thereof, erected within that part of any lot, block or other tract of land which is subject to an easement for the construction, maintenance, operation or replacement of any water, sanitary or storm sewer or gas line, or electric power, telephone or other utility poles, cables or lines shall be constructed of the material and so designed as to be readily removable, whenever necessary to enable the owner of the easement to enjoy the use thereof. Provided, permission of the Director of Development to erect a fence on land that is subject to such an easement shall not bind, and shall be without prejudice to the rights of owners of easements other than the city. The fences shall be subject to removal by, or upon request of, the owner of the easement whenever necessary to enable the owner of the easement to enjoy the easement and, if removed or replaced, shall be removed or replaced at the expense of the owner of the premises.
