ARTICLE IX. - SUPPLEMENTAL REGULATIONS
DIVISION 1. - GENERALLY
Sec. 78-284. - Walls and fences.'
_ __ _
(a) Walls and fences may be erected or maintained within or adjaeent to a property line to a height not
exceeding six feet. No wall or fence shall be perrnitted to extend forward of the adjacent or nearesf
portion of the building front, regardless of the actual, allowed building setback iine, on any lot or
__ _ _ _ - -
parcel (see Fig. a), except for lots or parcels located along and fronting upon County Club Drive,
where walls not exceeding five feet in height may be located forward of the front building line.
Fences associated only with accessory structures may be permitted if such fences are screened
from public view with a hedge of not less than six feet in height nor more than eight feet in height.
However, if a wall, fence, or living hedge is erected or located on a corner lot or a double frontage
lot, a vehicular and pedestrian visibility triangle of a size and dimension which complies with the
current traffic engineering standards of the American Association of State Highway and
Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and the county shall be provided for in both directions from the
intersecting point of property lines. The maximum height of any wall, fence or hedge within the
visibility triangle shall be two and one-half feet.
(b) Notwithstanding the above, entry features consisting of masonry columns not exceeding six feet in
height, with or without gates, are not deemed to be walls or fences and are specifically allowed in the
R-1A and R-1 zoning districts and in the residential areas within a mixed use development located in
the MU zoning district. Such entry features must be compatible with the architecture of the residence
and the streetscape, must be set back a minimum of ten feet from the edge of the road pavement or
the lot side of any sidewalk, must provide a minimum clear width of 12 feet for access by emergency
vehicles, and shall not be located in the village right-of-way. Gates, if any, must swing inward or slide
to the side to prevent obstructions to the roadway or sidewalk. A building permit and approval by the
planning and zoning board in accordance with these regulations is required prior to the
commencement of construction.
