   (b)   Masonry walls and fences shall be provided and maintained in any B Business or I Industrial District and on those sides abutting an R-Residential District in conformity with the following regulations:
      (1)   No fence or wall shall be extended toward the front lot line beyond the front of the principal building or structure or the required minimum front yard setback, whichever is greater.
      (2)   Required fences and walls shall be located on the property line, except where the fence or wall interferes with underground utility or surface water drainage conditions.
