(a) Any fence which may be permitted shall require the issuance of a permit by the Safety-Service Director or a designated representative after the same has been approved by him/her. A fence permit shall be granted only upon the basis or representation made by clear drawings and specifications accurately indicating the location, kind of material and full dimensions in figures of such fence. The representations shall be made on forms furnished by the Safety-Service Director, and shall be signed by the owner of the property on which the fence is located.
Replacement of an existing fence with a new fence, regardless of whether the new fence is similar to the existing fence and/or placed in the same location as the existing fence, shall require a permit.
(b) If the fence described in the fence permit has not been substantially completed within six (6) months of the date of issuance, the permit shall expire and be revoked by the Safety- Service Director or his/her designated representative. No further work shall proceed on the fence until a new fence permit has been obtained. If a new fence permit is not obtained within ninety (90) days of the expiration of the permit, upon the written demand of the Safety-Service Director, all portions of the fence which were installed shall be removed by the owner of the property.
(c) A permit fee for the erection of a fence, as set by Council, shall be paid prior to the issuance of a permit.
