Walls , fences, berms, and/or landscaping for the purpose of noise attenuation may be required in any zone when adjacent to a high noise generator such as a major roadway or railroad. Noise attenuation requirements will be developed in response to the noise level and source affecting specific property. Height and yard restrictions for walls may be waived as required for effec- tive noise reduction; ( b) Tennis Courts . The seven ( 7 ) foot fence height limit may be waived for tennis courts , as long as the tennis court is located in a side or rear yard and open type fencing material is used; ( c ) Levees . The height of any fence located at the toe of a levee may be increased to eight feet subject to the review and approval of the Director; (d) Fences Adjacent to "Restricted" or "Non-Access" Property. A fence up to seven ( 7 ) feet in height may be constructed at the property line when that line is shown as "restricted" or "non-access" on a recorded map, subject to the review and approval of the Director ; (e ) Exceptions for Landscaping.
