The City needs to <br />do whatever necessary to make sure that the tank is not leaking. <br />The standards that the City may require for gas tanks such as <br />this, may be higher than the fire code standards." <br />Mabusth asked, "Are you suggesting that the City establish a <br />method to inspect and certify these tanks on an annual basis?" <br />Kelley stated that Staff may wish <br />possibility. <br />to explore that <br />Mabusth suggested giving the applicant's architect <br />opportunity to explain his proposal for the clubhouse. <br />Steve Fichtel showed the Planning Commission the various <br />elevations of the clubhouse building.
