Guidelines
#1 - … Other fences may be architectural unimportant, the result of fence replacement in more recent years. In these
cases, property owners would be encouraged to make the design more appropriate rather than duplicate the existing
fence
#4 - If wood is to be used, picket, capped picket, or spindle fences are recommended for anywhere around the yard.
Capped flat board fences are more appropriate for side and back yards.
Fence Purposes and Designs:
Fences along the street often served decorative functions while those at the back of the property are generally installed
to maintain privacy. Privacy fences can be merely functional (the flat board fence) or decorative (flat board fence with
lattice top). NOTE: Applicant prefers open picket fencing instead of solid board fencing to allow light and air to rear
yard. Since fences have an architectural impact on a property, they should be thought of as more than just a screen.
Recommended fence designs: Running open picket fencing uninterrupted by posts
