How high can a fence be?

The height of fences that obstruct sight is limited to 36 inches within residential front and flanking street yards.  Cyclone and other fences that do not obstruct sight may be 48 inches in these areas.  Fencing is not allowed within the area know as the "clear view triangle" on residential corner lots -contact the public works department for further information on the dimensions of this "triangle".
