§ 15-8. Fence locations.

Fences may be located anywhere on a property except as modified by this section, other provisions of this chapter or other city ordinances.

(1)

No person shall construct a fence, guy wire, brace or any fence post upon or protruding over public property.

(2)

A fence shall not interfere with utility lines or normal drainage.

(3)

Permission from the city engineer is required to build a masonry fence or any fence supported by piers within a utility easement.

(4)

Permission to build a fence upon a utility easement does not remove the obligation of the owner to remove the fence at the owner's expense upon demand of the utility company.

(5)

It is unlawful to erect, maintain, suffer, or permit any fence in such a manner as to create a traffic hazard. The city's director of traffic and transportation may approve a fence location within a platted sight easement if the placement of the fence will not create a traffic hazard.

(6)

A fence shall not be placed within a required landscaped interior parkway.

(7)

Fence location or placement on a property does not remove, change, or impact the obligation of the owner to maintain the entirety of the property in compliance with other city ordinances.
