(A) Before installing a fence, a permit must be applied for and received from the Village Zoning Administrator. The permit fee shall be fifty dollars ($50.00).
(B) Fences may be erected along property lines but shall not encroach within six inches (6") of existing public sidewalks or public rights-of-way.
(C) Fences built on or within a public easement may be removed by the Village or at the direction of the Village at the owner's expense in the event repairs, maintenance, replacements or improvements are deemed necessary by the Village in such easements.
(D) The property owner shall be responsible for calling JULIE to locate utilities in accordance with JULIE requirements.
(E) Fences shall not obstruct any swale or watercourse.
(F) Fence height shall be measured from the ground at a point directly beneath the fence. Where the ground at a point directly beneath the fence has been increased in elevation from its original elevation at the time of subdivision development through berming, retaining walls, fill or other measures and where such increased ground elevation has resulted in an increase in ground elevation above an adjoining lot, the height of the fence shall be measured from the original ground elevation before installation of berming, retaining walls, fill or other measures as determined by the board of trustees. The Zoning Administrator shall consult U.S. geological survey contour maps, Village base map contours, recorded subdivision plat information and other available information in making such a determination.
