Any person who wishes to engage in the drilling or operation of a well for oil or gas in the City shall make application to the Building Inspector for a permit to do so. A separate application shall be filed for each permit desired, and every application shall be accompanied by a fee of one thousand dollars ($1,000), except that such fee shall not apply to any person whose operation and maintenance of such a well produces no sales revenue for the owner or occupant of the land upon which the well is located, and results in a product that is totally consumed at the site or within occupied dwellings or structures located adjacent thereto, in which circumstances the fee shall be one hundred dollars ($100.00).
