§ 18-8. Fencing of junk yard required.

No material shall be piled or stored in the area comprising the premises upon which a license is issued for a junk yard unless a tight board fence or chain link fence with sight obstructing lath not less than seven (7) feet high and securely built shall be erected so as to completely enclose the yard or place where such piling or storing is to be done. No barbed or razor type wire maybe made part of the fence.

The gates or places of access to such place where such material is to be piled or stored shall likewise be constructed of board and shall be of equal height as the fence herein required. Such gates or places of access shall, when not in use, be tightly closed. Such fence shall not be constructed closer than one (1) foot from the property line, shall at all times be kept and maintained in a good state of repair and no signs or advertising shall be painted or placed thereon or attached thereto; provided, however, that where any railway spur is located within the confines of such junk yard and where such spur is used for the transportation in and out of such yard, any part of the fence therein provided for which is within fifty (50) feet of such spur track may be built of lightly woven wire fence, of the same height as the board fence required herein and of such texture that the operation of any railway equipment within such fence may be observed from the outside.
