Berg RE: Hunt/Miller Fence Dispute In your letter of September 15, 1983, regarding the above subject, you asked me to make a determination of the legality of a fence referred to in a letter dated September 8, 1983 from Kenneth Miller and Lydia Miller. For your information, a copy of that letter is attached to this memo. As stated by the Millers, the fence in question is seven (7) feet high and topped with three (3) strands of barbed wire. The fence is located in the I-1 Industrial Zoning District of the City. The City presently has of record the following Code sections relating to fence regulations: 1) Section 170.014H par. 6 In Residential districts, fencing other than for solely decorative purposes shall be restricted to side and rear yards, maximum fencing heights in residential districts shall be six (6) feet, except eight (8) feet shall be allowed where neighboring land asthetic values are not adversely affected (emphasis added). 2) Section 170.015I(6) par. VIII (C)2 In the U__R, U__~C, UER and UMB Districts: 2) Fences, walls and hedges: Notwithstanding any other provisions of this code, fences, walls and hedges are permitted in or along the edge of any residential yard, provided that no fence, wall or hedge except a retaining wall is the required front yard setback of any interior lot shall be over forty-two (42) inches in height. On a corner lot, nothing shall be placed or allowed to grow in such a manner as to impede vision between heights of three (3) and ten (10) feet above the centerline grades of the intersecting streets. The latter limitation shall apply to that triangular area within sixty-five (65) feet of the center of the intersection (emphasis added).
