0"0 <br />The Residential Design Standards overlay zoning district (RDSOD) is created to allow for <br />application of specific regulations and/or design principles as it relates to residential <br />development in order to promote the appearance of and to protect the value of our residential <br />neighborhoods. Standards as found within this section shall apply to all residential <br />developments, including apartment complexes or other multi-family dwellings, as located <br />within the boundaries of the overlay zoning district. <br />14.2 DESIGN STANDARDS. <br />14.2.1 Fences. The purpose of this section is to set forth regulations for fences <br />throughout the overlay district. <br />14.2.1.2 Definitions. <br />• Fence - A structure serving as an enclosure, a barrier, or a boundary, usually made of <br />posts or stakes joined together by boards, wire, or rails. <br />• Open-style Fence - A fence of open construction is one in which the ratio of the open <br />portion to the closed portion is at least 1 to 1 per foot. Typical examples of open <br />fencing include chain link, split-rail, or picket fences (with appropriately spaced <br />pickets). <br />• Closed-style Fence - A fence of closed construction is one in which the ratio of the <br />closed portion to the open portion is more than I to I per foot. Typical examples of <br />closed fencing include stockade fences. <br />• Sight Triangle - An area that prohibits the placement of objects, such as fences, which <br />could obstruct the ability of motorists to view opposing traffic movements at <br />intersections. Sight triangles are determined by measuring along the edge of each <br />intersecting street or driveway a predetermined distance and then connecting those <br />points with a line. The area within these lines is considered the sight triangle. For <br />public streets, the predetermined measuring distance is sixty (60) feet. For private <br />driveways, the predetermined measurement distance is ten feet. See figure below. <br />~II <br />i J <br />n <br />u <br />
