The city and any <br />agent of the city shall be held harmless for any and all claims for damage to the fence, or part thereof, arising <br />out of or relating to work performed in the easement, including but not limited to the removal of the fence <br />or any part thereof. The city is not responsible or liable for the costs of repair, reinstallation or restoration of <br />any fence or part thereof removed from the easement. <br />(f) Fences (or any structure or landscaping), may not be placed within a public easement where public <br />improvements are located, or where an easement provides access to a public improvement, without first <br />receiving approval of an encroachment agreement by the public works director or other designee, along with <br />proof that the agreement has been filed with the record for the property in the office of the County Recorder <br />or Registrar of Title. <br />(g) That side of the fence considered to be the face or facing as applied to fence posts, shall front abutting <br />property (good side out). This shall not prohibit construction of wire or cable fences used to control livestock <br />in conformance with common agricultural practices. <br />(h) No person shall construct or maintain any fence that is connected to, or charged by, an electrical system, <br />except low-amperage systems used for livestock control in agricultural, long-term agricultural, and rural <br />residential zoning districts. <br />(i) The following fencing materials are allowed in all zoning districts: <br />(1) Chain link. <br />(2) Decorative masonry or block. <br />(3) Wrought iron. <br />(4) Brick. <br />(5) Natural stone, dressed, or undressed. <br />(6) Wood of proven exterior durability such as cedar, redwood, or treated wood. <br />(7) Plastic fencing manufactured to look like wood fencing. <br />(j) Barbed wire and cable fences are allowed only in the agricultural, long-term agricultural, rural residential, <br />and future urban service zoning districts, except up to four strands of barbed wire may be used to top <br />fencing at least six feet high in the industrial and restricted industrial zoning districts. Razor or ribbon wire is <br />prohibited in all zoning districts. <br />(k) No opaque fence or other visual obstruction over two feet tall shall be placed or allowed to develop within <br />20 feet of the intersection of any public street where both streets have a speed limit of 35 miles per hour or <br />less. In this case, the intersection shall be considered the edge of the curb or travel portion of the roadway. <br />Where one or more of the streets has a speed limit in excess of 35 miles per hour, such setback requirement <br />shall be 30 feet or as may be necessary for traffic and pedestrian safety. <br />(l) No fence over three feet high shall be constructed within ten feet of the ordinary high-water level of any lake <br />or waterbody listed in section 90-137. No fence shall extend beyond the ordinary high-water level of any lake <br />or waterbody listed in section 90-137. <br />(m) All fences constructed in the floodplain overlay district shall be of an open type, and must not obstruct the <br />free-flow of floodwaters, either by its construction, or through the collection of debris during periods of <br />flooding. <br />(n) A conditional use permit shall be required in the floodway and a use permit shall be required in the flood <br />fringe for any fences that have the potential to obstruct flood flows such as cyclone fences and fences made <br />of rigid walls such as wood or concrete privacy fences.
