Height - defined “height” means, with reference to a fence, the vertical distance measured from the grade to the highest point of the fence, not including the structural supports. The height of a fence shall be measured from the higher adjacent grade where there is a grade difference on each side of the fence.
Where the land slopes, a fence may exceed the height restrictions at one or more alternate structural supports when necessary to maintain the top of the fencing in a horizontal plane between such structural supports. See also Section 973.7.13 regarding measurement of height for swimming pool enclosures.
