On corner lots, only open fences are permitted in the yard area between the streets and the building line, and vision clearance must be preserved so a fence does not block sightlines at intersections and driveways.
Anderson's Zoning Guide requires vision clearance on corner lots and permits only open fences in the yard area between any streets and a line extending along the principal building to the property line. A defined clear-sight triangle (measured 15 feet from the point of intersection) may not contain a privacy fence or solid vision-blocking fence. Fences up to seven feet are allowed along interior side and rear lot lines shared with neighbors. Where a business or industrial district adjoins a residential district, a solid seven-foot vision-block fence or six-foot screen planting must be provided along the shared side or rear yard.
Fences that violate corner-lot vision clearance or the clear-sight triangle must be corrected; enforcement is by the Department of Municipal Development with appeal to the Board of Zoning Appeals.
