What are the regulations governing fences?
As stated in the Zoning Regulations, fences can be solid up to a height of six feet, above which they must be 75% open. Most lattice does not meet the 75% open criteria. There is no restriction regarding the placement of the “good” or finished side. Inland Wetlands Regulations generally do not regulate fences unless grading or clearing is needed to accommodate the fence. If the fence is in close proximity to the road, be sure its placement does not hinder sight lines. Also be certain that the fence is placed on your property, whether erected by the road or other abutting property.
