FABRICATED METAL FENCE: A fence assembled from discrete metal pieces including bars, channels, rods, pipes, tubes, cast or fabricated scrollwork and ornaments. No part of the fabricated metal fence shall include wire fabric or mesh, whether it is of woven or welded construction. The fabricated metal fence may be constructed of iron, steel or aluminum. The fabricated metal fence shall be finished or painted to prevent corrosion, and that finish shall be maintained throughout the duration of the fence installation. Fabricated metal fences shall meet the structural requirements of the building code adopted in Chapter 1 of this Title 4.
ORNAMENTAL PILLARS: Shall include any construction of stone, masonry, or precast concrete, either freestanding or used to support fence panels. Constructions supporting a horizontal structure shall not be considered to be an ornamental pillar. When included in a fence, wherein the area of the fence open to view is regulated, the area of the pier shall not be counted against the area open to view if the cumulative length of the piers is equal to or less than ten percent of the length of the run of the fence in any run. Ornamental pillars, and any decorative extensions except lighting fixtures, shall comply with the maximum height for the type of fence it is part of. Ornamental pillars and their foundations shall meet the structural requirements of the building code adopted in Chapter 1 of this Title 4, and shall be reinforced and anchored to prevent overturning.

On corner lots, the front yard faces on the lot's primary street; such street being the street which has the greatest distance between the two cross streets forming the block frontage.
Yard, Rear: A yard extending across the rear of a lot measured between the side lines of the building and between the rear lot line and the rear of the building. On both interior lots and corner lots, the rear yard shall in all cases be at the opposite end of the lot from the front yard.
