(a) All tanks for oil storage shall be erected and maintained outside the corporate limits of the City. In no instance shall storage tanks be permitted closer than 200 feet to any building of any type within the corporate limits of the City.
(b) Council may allow any permittee to lay the pipeline from its drilling site to its oil tank storage area on public property. A plot must be submitted at the time application for a drilling permit is made showing clearly the location of the drilling site, location of the oil tank storage area and location of the pipeline between drilling site and oil tank storage area. Council must approve the location of the line and may require a change of route for the pipeline, in whole or in part. In all instances where the pipeline crosses private property, easements must be acquired for the pipeline and proof of same filed with the drilling permit application.
(c) Council may require the permittee prior to actual laying of a pipeline to deposit with the City a sum of money considered adequate to restore all property in the path of the pipeline to the same condition in which it was prior to laying the pipeline. The cost of laying and maintaining the pipeline shall be borne entirely by the permittee. Upon restoring property in the path of the pipeline to the condition it was prior to laying the pipeline, the deposit will be returned to the permittee on order of the Safety-Service Director. If any portion of the job of restoring property to proper condition is considered inadequate, Council may, on notice to the permittee of the failure, proceed to have the work done and use the deposit to pay any expense of any type incurred in restoring the property to its original condition.
