However, open display of non-wrecked, fully <br />assembled merchandise such as cars, mobile homes, farm machinery need not <br />be screened from a right-of-way abutting or facing a non-residential <br />district.

The height of the wall, fence, or hedge shall be <br />no less than six (6) feet, unless otherwise specified within use <br />regulations of the zoning district.
