No accessory building shall be located nearer than five feet to any rear lot line and shall be subject to the same side yard requirements as the principal structure. In the case of a corner lot, no accessory building shall be located within any side yard required on the street side.

(C) The screening shall be continuously maintained and shall be either a solid masonry wall in accordance with adopted fence standards, which is a minimum six feet high, or the standard screening fence. Such screening shall be located on the subject property, adjacent to the common property line. If an alley is separating the uses, the required screening shall be located on the subject property side of the alley adjacent to the property line which is adjacent to the alley.
(D) The standard screening fence which is required for screening purposes, shall be constructed with the following standards.
(1) Said fence shall be a minimum of six feet in height.
(2) All wood materials shall be naturally decay resistant or pressure treated exterior grade, such as redwood or cedar, or other materials acceptable to the City Commission.
(3) All nails or fasteners shall be of non-rusting, non-corrosive metal, such as hot-dipped galvanized steel. All nails or fasteners shall be of the type (screw-shank, ring-shank or divergent-point staples) that, when properly driven, will not work free due to wind, vibration or shrinkage of members. The maximum spacing allowed between pickets shall be one-quarter inch.
(4) All materials shall be securely fastened, vertical boards to horizontal stringers, stringers to vertical posts, top rail, to ensure an ongoing attractive appearance and safe condition, free form rust, rot, vandalism and other sources of decay.

One or more of the following conditions must be present or apply for consideration of an exception:
(1) Topographical variations that would preclude a normal installation, or act as a screening mechanism. A topographical variation may serve as a screening device if the zoning district requiring the screening fence is separated from the adjoining use by a 30% slope or greater, as long as the elevation between the two uses is at least six feet, (property requiring the screening fence is at the higher elevation);
(2) Dense vegetation that presently exists onsite, which serves the same purpose as a screening fence. Vegetation will serve as a screening device if it is a minimum of six feet in height and the density obstructs the view; and
(3) The fence will impede proper drainage.
(1998 Code, App. A, § 40-59) (Ord. 97-26, passed 1-21-1998; Ord. 08-48, passed 12-3-2008)
Unless a greater side yard is required by zoning district regulations, on corner lots, the side yard on the street shall be the same as the requirement for the front, except on corner lots adjacent to a segment of side street upon which no property fronts, said segment being defined as that portion of a street between one street intersection and the next, the minimum side yard shall be 20 feet or the same as the depth of front building setback, whichever is less. This regulation shall not be so interpreted as to reduce the buildable width of a corner lot of record at the time of passage of this chapter to less than 20 feet.
