<br />Retaining Wall Report <br />May 17, 2006 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br /> <br />1103.08: FENCING, RETAINING WALLS, SCREENING AND LANDSCAPING: <br /> <br />Subd. 1. Height: No fence shall exceed eight feet (8') in height, and in the case of grade separation, <br />such as the division of properties by a retaining wall, the height shall be determined on the basis <br />of measurement from the average point between the highest and lowest grade. <br /> <br />Subd. 2. Intersections: No fences, structures or planting of trees or shrubs shall be permitted within <br />thirty feet (30') of any corner formed by the intersection of street property lines or the right of way <br />of a railway intersecting a street, except properly constructed chain link fences. Such chain link <br />fences shall not exceed forty eight inches (48") in height from the grade level at the lot line and <br />shall have openings in the wire mesh of not less than one and five-eighths inches (1-5/8") nor <br />more than two and one-fourth inches (2-1/4"). Such fences may follow the lot line to the lot <br />corner. The thirty feet (30') restriction noted above shall consist of the triangle formed by <br />connecting the two (2) points on intersecting lot lines that are each thirty feet (30') from the lot <br />corner. <br /> <br />Subd. 3. Location: <br /> <br />a. Except as provided in subdivision 2 above, fences not to exceed forty eight inches (48") in <br />height may be located on any part of a lot. Fences not to exceed ninety six inches (96") in height <br />may be erected on any part of a lot behind the front line of the principal building. The City <br />Council may require or approve fencing up to ninety six inches (96") in height in a front yard to <br />satisfy a buffer or screening condition of a development review or conditional use permit. (Ord. <br />658, 8-14-00) <br /> <br />b. A fence or retaining wall shall be installed on the applicant's property. The fence or <br />retaining wall shall not be installed directly over the property line. <br /> <br />Subd. 4. Landscaping Required: In all zoning districts, the lot area remaining after providing for off- <br />street parking, off-street loading, sidewalks, driveway, building site and/or other requirements <br />shall be planted and maintained in grass, sodding, shrubs or other acceptable vegetation or <br />treatment generally used in landscaping. <br /> <br />Subd. 5. Surface of Fences: Any fence shall be so constructed that the surface facing adjoining <br />properties or public rights of way shall be of finished construction. <br /> <br />Subd. 6. Required Screening: The fencing and screening required by this Title shall be subject to <br />subdivisions 1 through 5 hereof and shall consist of either a fence or a green belt planting strip <br />the height of which shall be sufficient to adequately shield the activity from the abutting <br />properties. <br /> <br />a. A green belt planting strip shall consist of evergreen ground cover and shall be of sufficient <br />width and density to provide an effective screen. This planting strip shall contain no structures or <br />other use. Such planting strips shall not be less than eight feet (8') in height. Earth mounding or <br />berms may be used but shall be limited to an average of five feet (5') of the height of the required <br />screen. The planting plan and type of shrub shall require the approval of the Planning and <br />Zoning Commission based upon a recommendation of the Director of Public Works/City <br />Engineer and Building Inspector. <br />
