CHAPTER IV - 9 2. Fences shall be located entirely upon the private property for the person, firm or corporation constructing, or causing to be constructed such fence. Fences shall not be erected in the boulevard area of public streets. 3. Every fence shall be constructed in a substantial skillful manner and of substantial material reasonably suitable for the purpose for which the fence is proposed to be used. Every fence shall be maintained in a condition of reasonable repair and shall not be allowed to become and remain in a condition of disrepair or danger, or constitute a nuisance, public or private. Any such fence which is, or has become dangerous to the public safety, health or welfare, is a public nuisance, in accordance with Chapter 17 of the City Code. 4. Fences constructed, or partially constructed, of barbed wire shall only be permitted in industrially zoned district and shall conform with the requirements of section 6-400. 5. On any corner lot no fence shall be erected in the triangle formed by the front lot line, side street lot line and a straight line joining points on such property lines thirty (30) feet from their intersection at the corner, of the lot when such action would materially impede vision between a height of two and one-half (2~) and ten (10) feet above the centerline grades of the adjacent inter- secting streets. 6. Fences for special purposes and fences differing in con- struction, height, length or location from the requirements of this section may be permitted in any district in the City of New Brighton by the issuance of a special use permit approved by the city council that (1) such special purpose fences are necessary to protect and buffer the premises for which such fences are intended or adjacent fences are intended or adjacent premises, and (2) would not be deleterious to adjacent property, nor to the general public health, safety, or welfare, and (3) would not be inconsistent with the intent and purpose of these fence regulations as stated in section 4-540 a.
