As used in this subchapter, the words
FENCES and WALLS shall be deemed to mean any structure composed of wood, iron, steel, stone, brick, hedge, or other material erected in such a manner and position as to enclose or partially enclose any premises or any part of any premises. Trellises or other structures supporting or for the purpose of supporting vines, flowers, and other vegetation when erected in such position as to enclose any premises shall be included within the definition of the word FENCES, excepting any specific fences and/or type of fence, as may be required by the Building Commissioner within his review procedure. Structures erected other than on lot lines or in close proximity to lot lines, which have solely an ornamental purpose and which do not in fact serve the purpose of enclosing or partially enclosing premises or of separating premises from adjoining premises, shall not be included within the definition of the word FENCES.
