Description

I respecfully dissent to the portion of the opinion which upholds the ordinance requirement of perimeter fencing. The ordinance reads that such fencing shall be "installed along the side and rear lot lines of the site . . . which fence shall be so constructed as to constitute a barrier as to any trash, waste paper, refuse or other waste which might be blown or otherwise carried off such property . . . ." To me this provision requires that the side fences must proceed from the rear lot line to the front lot line. I regard it as highly arbitrary and unreasonable to require a side fence in the front yard from a point at the sidewalk to a point opposite the front projection of the building. Further, I regard such a requirement as an unconstitutional taking of property.
