A screen that is opaque from the ground to a height of at least six (6) feet, with intermittent visual obstructions from the opaque portion to a height of at least sixteen (16) feet. The screening intended to include all visual contact between uses and to create a strong impression of special separation.
(2) Type B, semi-opaque screening. A screen that is opaque from the ground to a height of six (6) feet, within intermittent visual obstructions from above the opaque portion to a height of at least sixteen (16) feet. The semi-opaque screen is intended to partially block visual contact between uses and to create a strong impression of the separation of spaces.
(3) Type C, broken screen. A screen composed of intermittent visual obstructions from the ground to a height of sixteen (16) feet. The broken screen is intended to create the impression of a separation of spaces without necessarily eliminating visual contact between the spaces.
