FENCE REQUIREMENTS:

​

● Maximum fence height is five feet (5'). Maximum height for fences in corner side yards shall be five feet (5'). EXCEPTION: Fences for lots on 26th Avenue may not exceed 4 feet (4’) in height. Fences on the West side of 26th Avenue must have a gate opening on to 27th Avenue.

​

● No fences are allowed in required vehicle vision triangles, and the maximum height of landscaping in required vehicle vision triangles is thirty inches (30").

​

● No fences are allowed in front yards.

​

● Rear yard fencing cannot extend past the mid-point of the residence and garage.

​

● Any fence or wall constructed so as to have only one elevation "finished," which shall be defined as not having its supporting members significantly visible, shall be erected such that the finished elevation of the fence is exposed to the adjacent property and street.

​

● Fence design, finish, color and location must be approved by the DRB.

​

Fencing shall be maintained in good condition, properly stained and in good repair.

​

● In general, kennels are discouraged in favor of the "invisible fence" system. Kennels or dog runs must be placed within the area allowable for rear yard fencing. Kennels shall be integrated into the dwelling (attached) to avoid isolation and to provide as much aesthetic appeal as possible. Kennels shall not be higher than five (5) feet in height (except on S. 26th Avenue as stated above) and must be built using the same materials as Privacy Screening and Fencing. No kennel or dog run may be placed closer than 20 feet to any dwelling other than that of the Owner of the kennel. Pet houses must be compatible with the Lot Owner's house in color and material and must be located where they will be visually unobtrusive and will have the least impact on neighbors for visibility, noise and smell. Generally, this means away from shared property lines. All kennels and dog runs must be approved by the DRB.
