The following rules shall be followed at all self-service stations, and violation of any said rules shall constitute good and just cause for suspension or revocation of a self-service station permit by the Village President and Board of Trustees:
(A) The installation or use of unattended self-service dispensing devices for motor fuel of any kind is hereby prohibited.
(B) No dwelling unit or sleeping facilities of any kind for the owner, attendant or any person shall be permitted at a self-service station.
(C) Dispensing of gasoline or any high volatile fuels at locations not open to the public does not require an attendant or supervisor. Such locations may be used by com-mercial, industrial, governmental or manufacturing establish-ments for fueling vehicles used in connection with their businesses. However, this does not include private fraternal clubs or associations.
(D) Special dispensing devices for motor fuel are not to be installed or used without prior written approval of the President and Board of Trustees.
(E) (1) Approved self-service dispensing devices are permitted at service stations available and open to the public provided that all dispensing of gasoline or any high volatile fuels by a person other than the service station attendant is under the supervision and control of a qualified attendant and the dispensing nozzle is a listed automatic closing type without a hold open latch, and must be of a type approved by the State Fire Marshall.
(2) It shall be the responsibility of the attendant to dispense gasoline or any high volatile fuels into approved portable containers, control sources of ignition and immediately handle accidental spills and fire extinguishers if needed. The attendant on duty shall be mentally and physically capable of performing the functions and assuming the responsibility prescribed in this section.
(F) One type ABC fire extinguisher with a capacity of ten pounds shall be provided for each pump island containing four or less dispensing pumps; on pump islands containing more than four dispensing pumps, an additional extinguisher shall be provided for each additional dispensing pump or fraction thereof. Such extinguishers shall be located at points approved by the State Fire Marshal, away from the dispensing area but close enough to the dispensing area to be readily available. Such extinguishers shall be plainly marked, shall be protected from the weather and shall be maintained in operable condition and available at all times when the self-service station is open to the public. All employees of the self-service station shall be thoroughly instructed as to the location and proper use of such extinguishers, and shall, upon request, demonstrate their ability in such use to the approval of representatives of the State Fire Marshal.
(G) (1) Signs giving instructions for the operation of gasoline dispensing equipment must be conspicuously posted at each self-service station offering self-service.
(2) Signs bearing the following words must be conspicuously posted on each gasoline pump island where self-service is offered:
(a) Self-Service Island: "Warning"
(b) "Stop Engine";
(c) "No Smoking";
(d) "It is unlawful and dangerous for anyone other than the attendant to dispense gasoline into approved containers";
(e) "It is unlawful and dangerous to dispense gasoline without an attendant on duty";
(f) "It is unlawful and dangerous for any person other than a licensed driver to dispense gasoline or any high volatile fuels into vehicles."
(3) The signs shall be made of all weather rigid material and the wording, lettering, size, design, material, mounting and location of said sign shall be subject to the approval of the State Fire Marshal and of the Fire Prevention Bureau of the Village Fire Protection District.
(4) All fuel dispensing units shall be mounted or protected against collision damage by suitable means in a manner approved by the State Fire Marshal.
(I) All self-service fuel dispensing units shall have a key starter, which shall be reset by the attendant after each purchase, and/or a reset unit in control station, which shall be reset by the attendant after each purchase.
(J) Every self-service station shall maintain a control station in a location approved by the State Fire Marshal, equipped in such manner that the flow of liquid fuel from any or all fuel dispensing units may be stopped from such control station; a master electric switch shall be maintained at such control station so that electric power and pump lighting to all pumps may be disconnected, at one time, and said switch shall be plainly marked and easily accessible. The control station shall be located at ground level not more than 100 feet from the farthest pump. The control station shall be so located that the attendant of such control station shall have a clear and unobstructed view of all pumps. The attendant shall at all times be able to communicate with persons in the dispensing area. The self-service pump island shall be closer to the control station in service stations which are a combination self-service and full service station. The President and Board of Trustees in their discretion may require a communication system between the control station and each pump island.
(K) At all times when a self-service station is open for public use, not less than one attendant shall be on duty, and no motor fuel shall be dispensed at any time when such attendant is not at or near the control station or pump island. The attendant's primary duty shall be to supervise the dispensing of motor fuels, motor oils and services normally related to such dispensing. Such attendant shall refuse service to any person who is smoking or who appears for any reason to be unable to dispense fuel safely, or is not a licensed driver, and shall shut off the dispensing unit if a patron fails to follow instructions in compliance with the rules. All attendants and other employees of the service station shall be thoroughly instructed in the operation and use of the communication system, the control station, and fire extinguishing equipment, the operation of the dispensing units, and safety regulations for the dispensing of motor fuels.
