(A) In granting permits for the repair or construction of buildings and other structures within the Fire Zone, the Council shall have the power to make the granting of the permit conditioned upon the owner of the building providing adequate fire extinguisher or other fire-fighting equipment and appliances, and the repair, alteration or construction of the buildings or other structures as in the judgment of the Council will render the buildings less hazardous to fire.
(B) It shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation or association of persons to place, deposit, stores stack or pile any boxes, barrels or other discarded wooden packages, old lumber or other materials on any lot, lots or part thereof within the Fire Zone of the city, as herein established, provided, however, that any lumber placed within the Fire Zone for the purpose of immediate use shall be excepted from the terms of this chapter.
(C) Any permit issued according to the provisions of this section shall be good for a term of four months from the date of its issuance, and the City Secretary shall keep a record of all permits issued. Should a permit expire and the work authorized thereunder not be completed or started, the owner must renew his or her application before continuing or starting the work.
