Height: No fence shall exceed eight feet (8') in height, and in the case of grade <br />separation, such as the division of properties by a retaining wall, the height shall be <br />determined on the basis of measurement from the average point between the highest <br />and lowest grade. <br /> <br />Subd. 2. Intersections: No structures or plantings 30-inches or more in height, or fences, <br />structures or planting of trees or shrubs shall be permitted within thirty feet (30') of <br />any corner formed by the intersection of street property lines or the right of way of a <br />railway intersecting a street, except properly constructed chain link fences.
