SECTION 1010 CLEAR VISION AREAS

A. In all zones a clear vision area shall be maintained on the corners of all property at the intersection of two streets or a street and a railroad. A clear vision area shall contain no planting, fence, wall, structure or temporary or permanent obstruction from the top of the curb, or, where no curb exists, from the established street centerline grade, except wire or other construction fences which permit clear vision through the triangular area. Trees may be located in this area provided all branches and foliage are removed to a height of eight feet above the grade.

B. Measurement of clear vision area: A clear vision area shall consist of a triangular area two sides of which are lot lines measured from the corner intersection to the street right of way for a distance specified in this regulation; or, where the lot lines have rounded corners, the lot lines extended in a straight line to a point of intersection and so measured, and the third side of which is a line across the corner of the lot joining the non-intersection ends of the other two sides. The following measurements shall establish clear vision areas within Baker County.

1) In the EFU or Timber Grazing zones the minimum distance shall be 30 feet.

2) In all other zones the minimum distance shall be in relation to street and road right-of-way width as follows:
