The following shall not be considered to be encroachments on yard <br /> requirements: <br /> (7) Fences erected in all zoning districts are considered as a nonencroachment when they conform <br /> to the following standards: <br /> b. Lakeshore lots. <br /> 1. Fences within the required street (rear) yard or side street yard of a <br /> lakeshore lot shall not exceed 42 inches above original grade. Exception: <br /> A fence not exceeding six feet in height may be located along the street <br /> lot line of a lake frontage lot which abuts a major thoroughfare. A major <br /> thoroughfare for purposes of this section means any county road or state <br /> highway. If such fence involves fill or berming, the total combined height <br /> of both fence and fill shall not exceed six feet above the height of the <br /> crown of the major thoroughfare. <br /> 2. Fences within the required side yard of a lakeshore lot shall not exceed <br /> six feet in height, and any portion located lakeward of the average <br /> lakeshore setback line shall not exceed 42 inches in height. The term <br /> "average lakeshore setback line" means a line drawn between the most <br /> lakeward projection of the fence owner's principal residence structure <br /> and the most lakeward projection of the adjacent affected principal <br /> residence structure. <br /> 3. Fences shall not be constructed within the defined lakeshore yard of a <br /> lakeshore lot, i.e., shall not be located within 75 feet of the shoreline for <br /> general development lakes, 100 feet for recreational lakes, or 150 feet <br /> for natural environment lakes. <br />
