(A) Interior lots. A fence, including one of sight-obscuring design, may be erected upon any side or rear lot line and along the front yard setback line, provided the fence is not less than three feet nor more than six feet above grade level at any location, and provided further that adequate access for firefighting is provided. Fences are not permitted to extend into the front yard.
(B) Corner lots. The following regulations as to height and placement of fences shall apply on corner lots.
(1) Sight-obscuring fences. Except as provided in this section, a sight-obscuring fence of not less than three feet nor more than six feet above grade level in any location may be erected upon any side or rear lot line, provided that such fence does not encroach into the required front yard. In addition, a sight-obscuring fence of such size may project not more than ten feet into the required front yard which would be a side yard if it were an interior lot. Adequate access for firefighting must be provided.
(2) Non-sight-obscuring fences. Except as provided in subparagraph (3), non-sight-obscuring fences of not less than three feet nor more than six feet above grade level in any location may be erected upon any side or rear lot line and along any front building line, provided the fence does not encroach into the required front yard, and provided further that adequate access for firefighting is provided. Non-sight-obscuring fences of not less than three feet nor more than four feet above grade level in any location may be erected in the required front yard which would be a side yard if it were an interior lot.
(3) Adjacent rear yards. Where the rear yards of two corner lots are immediately adjacent to the side yard of an interior lot, fences may not be erected within the required front yard of either or both lots which would be the required side yard if those corner lots were interior lots. Except as provided above, fences shall not be permitted to project into the front yard.
