It is forbidden to have, store, use or keep at the same time
at any single place or upon any single property within the Borough
of West Conshohocken more than 60 gallons of gasoline or naphtha or
more than 100 gallons of petroleum, kerosene or any other flammable
oil or product of petroleum or coal tar, or products containing over
25% of such flammable substances, except that quantities not exceeding
500 gallons may be kept in underground tanks of steel or concrete
constructed and maintained by permit duly issued by the Borough authorities
of West Conshohocken and of approved design and in approved locations.
A.
Permits to construct such underground tanks of a capacity not to
exceed 500 gallons may be granted by the Building Committee of the
Borough Council, provided the owner of the real estate (with the joinder
of the tenant, if any) first files plans which, in the judgment of
the Building Committee, contain all reasonable precautions against
the communication of fire to the contents of such tanks and against
danger of conflagration in the event of fire reaching the contents.
In every case the top of said tank shall be required to be elevated
at least one foot above the floor or ground level of the place where
it is located, and the pump shall be of design to be approved by the
Building Committee.
B.
For issuing such permit and for inspecting the construction of said
tank and the installation of said pumps, the Building Committee shall
be entitled to charge a fee of $3, to be paid in advance at the time
of the issuing of the permit.
