REGULAR r1EETING OF THE ORONO COUNCIL, JULY 24 , 1979 Page 5 <br /> FUEL DELIVERY PUBLIC HEARING <br /> Gasoline Storage <br /> The basic Fire Code has no provisions regulating (Continued) <br /> commercial delivery of flammables to private <br /> storage tanks. The first draft proposed to prohibit <br /> delivery to illegal or non-conforming tanks thereby <br /> requiring the distributors to be aware of our local <br /> regulations and providing an automatic amortization <br /> of use on existing unsafe or poorly located tanks. <br /> The City would have 18 months to inspect and mark all h <br /> "good" tanks to assure continued supply. <br /> I recommend adoption of this amendr_ient. <br /> LPG STORAGE <br /> The Fire Code provides performance standards for <br /> storage, handling and use of LPG. Permits are <br /> required for installation or maintenance of temporary <br /> containers over 120 gal. capacity and for permanent <br /> installations over 1200 gal. capacity. Location <br /> setbacks are specified for all containers. No <br /> maximum container volume is specified. <br /> The following options are provided for� the Council <br /> to decide which level of fire protection is appro�riate <br /> for Orono (minimum c�uantities not regulated in any <br /> oroposal) : <br /> LEV�L 1: Adopt basic code only with no additions: <br /> -State setbacks would apply depending upon <br /> quantity <br /> -No quantity limitations <br /> LEVEL 2: Adopt maximum quantity lirlitations for urban <br /> residential and comr.iercial zones <br /> LEVEL 3: Adopt maximum quantity lirtitations for all <br /> residential and commercial zones <br /> LEVEL 4 : Prohibit new LPG installations in urban <br /> residential or commercial zones with quantity <br /> limitations in rural zones. This was the <br /> first draft proposal ` <br /> LEVEL 5: Prohibit new LPG installations in any zone <br /> My continuing recommendation is to adopt a Level 3 or <br /> Level 4 protection for Orono. <br /> End of inemo <br /> (Continued) <br />
