(2) Fencing in any other side and rear yard shall not exceed six feet in height.
(3) Any fencing abutting a street right-of-way shall be of the traditional picket or rail style.
(4) In no case shall any wire-based fencing be used along a street right-of-way.
(B) Exceptions. The style and height requirements within this section shall not apply to:
(1) Any nonresidential lot;
(2) Any property regulated by §§ 90.03 and 90.14 of this code; and
(3) Any residential lot greater than two acres in size. Two or more contiguous but separate tax or zoning parcels shall not be considered one lot for the purpose of determining fence style and height.
(C) All fencing must be erected and/or constructed such that no part of the fence obstructs a clear vision area, as defined in § 155.007 and outlined in § 155.045, nor encroaches into any public right-of-way, as outlined in § 94.01 of this code.
(D) As noted in § 155.054, if there is no right-of-way recorded, add 15 feet and measure from the edge of pavement.
