such use and any accessory facilities affixed to the land is adequately separated from any lot line; and
that, along any rear lot line or side lot line adjoining a Residence District, the zoning lot is screened as the Board may prescribe, by either of the following methods: a strip at least four feet wide, densely planted with shrubs or trees at least four feet high at the time of planting and which are of a type which may be expected to form a year-round dense screen at least six feet high within three years; or a wall or barrier or uniformly painted fence of fire-resistant material at least six feet high, but not more than eight feet above finished grade. Such wall, barrier, or fence may be opaque or perforated, provided that not more than 50 percent of its face is open.
