The Town Board finds that to protect the health, safety and
welfare of Town residents in times of public emergency, and to provide
for the safe and orderly continuation of their lives and occupations,
provision must be made for continued retail dispensation of gasoline
and diesel fuel in the event that the retailer's conventional
access to power generation necessary for fuel dispensation is cut
off.
This chapter shall apply immediately to all businesses which
first commence provision of retail sales of gasoline and/or diesel
fuel to the public after the effective date of this chapter, and this
chapter shall apply commencing on January 1, 2015, to all businesses
which are already existing and providing retail sales of gasoline
and/or diesel fuel to the public on the effective date of this chapter.
The Department of Buildings shall be charged with the enforcement of this chapter. Any corporate or individual owner, lessee or other person in control of a business which provides retail sales of gasoline and/or diesel fuel to the public that is being maintained in violation of §
110-3 of this chapter shall be guilty of an offense punishable by a fine not exceeding $500 for each day that such violation shall exist, and each day that such violation shall exist shall constitute a separate offense.
