This chapter shall be known and cited as the "Gasoline Service Station Law of the Village of Elmsford."
It is hereby declared that the inordinate number of gasoline service stations; competition among rival gasoline station owners, proprietors or operators and their methods of advertising the products offered for sale thereat; price wars; the unrelated uses to which many gasoline stations are being put, i.e., paint spraying, body and fender repairs and the noises emanating therefrom; overnight parking of commercial vehicles; undue fire and traffic hazards; the storage of abandoned, junked and unlicensed motor vehicles; the display and sale of used motor vehicles and automobile parts; sanitation; the unsightly appearance of many of said gasoline service stations; and the impairment of neighboring property values are a menace to the health, safety, welfare and well-being of persons and property within the Village of Elmsford. Therefore, the provisions hereinafter prescribed for the regulation and licensing of gasoline service stations are enacted, and their necessity in the public interest is hereby declared as a matter of legislative determination, by virtue of the power and authority vested in the Village of Elmsford under the provisions of the Municipal Home Rule Law granting to the Village the power to adopt a local law for the regulation and licensing of occupations or businesses therein.

A. 
General provisions. Class I and Class II flammable liquids shall be stored in tanks located underground. Class III flammable liquids shall be stored in containers or in tanks located underground or in special enclosures as described in Subsection B.
B. 
Special enclosures. When installation of tanks is impractical because of property or building limitations, tanks for flammable liquids may be installed in buildings if enclosed as follows: The enclosure shall be substantially liquid- and vapor-tight without backfill. Sides, top and bottom of the enclosure shall be of reinforced concrete at least six inches thick, with openings for inspection through the top only. Tank connections shall be so piped or closed that neither vapors nor liquid can escape into the enclosed space. Means shall be provided whereby portable equipment may be employed to discharge to the outside any vapors which might accumulate should leakage occur.
C. 
Storage inside buildings. No Class I flammable liquids shall be stored or handled within any service station building except packaged items, for example: cleaning fluid received and resold in unbroken metallic containers of not over one gallon capacity each, or in approved nonmetallic containers of not more than one quart capacity each. Class II flammable liquids in closed containers may be stored inside the station building. A container equipped with an approved pump shall be considered a closed container for purposes of storage only. No Class I or Class II flammable liquids shall be dispensed or transferred from one container to another, inside of a service station building; provided, however, that flammable antifreeze liquids may be dispensed in rooms of a service station building, provided that such rooms have approved heating devices and provided also that there is no open flame in such room lower than eight feet above floor level. Class III liquids may be stored and dispensed inside a service station building from approved containers of not more than 120 gallons' capacity each.

E. 
Dispensing containers. No delivery of any Class I or II flammable liquids shall be made into portable containers of five gallons' capacity or less unless the container is of sound metal construction, has a tight closure with screwed or spring cover and is fitted with a spout or so designed that the contents can be poured without spilling.
[Added 11-7-1983 by L.L. No. 9-1983]
A. 
Design and construction. Class I and II flammable liquids shall be transferred from underground tanks by means of fixed pumps so designed and equipped as to allow control of the flow and to prevent leakage or accidental discharge. Supplemental means shall be provided outside of the dispensing device whereby the source of power may be readily disconnected in the event of fire or other accident. Dispensing devices for Class I or Class II flammable liquids shall be of an approved type. Class I or II flammable liquids shall not be dispensed by pressure or gravity from drums, barrels and similar containers. Gear pumps or similar positive displacement devices taking suction through the top of the container shall be used. Class I and Class II flammable liquids shall not be dispensed by a device that operates through pressure within a storage tank, unless the tank has been approved as a pressure vessel for the use to which it is subjected.

Automatic hose nozzle valves with latch-open devices. In lieu of being held open by hand, an approved automatic nozzle may be used for dispensing Class I flammable liquid into the fuel tank of a vehicle. Type of automatic nozzle used for this purpose must first be approved by the Commissioner. A competent attendant shall be in the immediate vicinity of the vehicle being filled by such an approved nozzle.
C. 
Location. Dispensing devices at automotive service stations shall be so located that all parts of the vehicle being served will be on private property.
D. 
Inside garages. Where an outside location is impractical, dispensing devices approved for inside use may be installed inside a garage or similar establishments storing, parking, servicing or repairing automotive equipment upon the approval of the location and safeguards and issuance of a permit therefor by the Commissioner. The dispensing device shall be located in an area of fire-resistive construction well away from vehicle storage and repair areas and shall be well ventilated. It shall be protected against physical damage by vehicles by mounting on a concrete island or by equivalent means and shall be located in a position where it cannot be struck by a vehicle descending a ramp or other slope out of control. A convenient remote emergency shutoff for electric power to the dispensing unit and the pump supplying it shall be provided.
[Added 11-7-1983 by L.L. No. 9-1983]
A. 
Special dispensing devices such as, but not limited to, coin-operated and card-operated devices for Class I flammable liquids are prohibited. The remote preset types are permitted at service stations, provided that there is at least one qualified attendant on duty while the station is open to the public. The attendant's primary function shall be to supervise, observe and control the dispensing of flammable or combustible liquids while said liquids are being dispensed. It shall be the responsibility of the attendant to prevent the dispensing of Class I liquids into portable containers not in compliance with § 189-15E, control source of ignition, and to immediately handle accidental spills and fire extinguishers if needed.

H. 
If it becomes necessary for the attendant to leave the remote-control facility at the principal location, all pumps shall be deactivated.

On each dispenser island shall be conspicuously posted, in letters at least one inch in height the following warning:
WARNING
