§ 53-3. Fence height.

A. 

No fence in a residential district shall exceed five feet in height, except that a fence along a property boundary abutting East Rockaway Road shall not exceed six feet in height.

B. 

A fence, not exceeding five feet in height, shall be permitted on the rear lot line and those linear portions of the side lot lines enclosing a rear yard; provided, however, that the five-foot fencing shall not be erected closer to the street fronting the premises than the rear of the house on those premises. The height shall be measured from the ground level to the top of the fence or supporting column or post, whichever is higher. For purposes of interpretation, a rear building line shall refer only to the principal structure and shall not include patios, porches or other extensions thereto.

C. 

Fence heights are to be measured from the lowest point along the line of the fence including the line up to the property line, despite the fact that the fence may not extend that far. Fences are to be stepped down or stepped up to follow the slope of the land.

D. 

Front yards. No constructed fence shall be higher than 48 inches in any front yard from the mean height of the roadway in front of the premises.
