The language is also being amended for consistency with the building code <br />regarding permit requirements. <br /> <br />The A-1 district is also being added as an area permitted to have electric, barbed and <br />barbless wire fences. It currently states that they are allowed only in the R-la district. <br /> <br /> <br />
