4. A letter from the fire chief stating that the present fire protection service can adequately protect the proposed development.
B. Site Location: All commercial development shall be located on Main Street or in an orderly manner to the east of the town. A waiver will be granted only if sufficient evidence can be shown to the council that no adequate site is available in the above named area. An application may be rejected on the basis of lack of an adequate site.
C. Location Outside Urban Limit Line: All commercial developments located outside the urban limit line shall be provided with an individual water supply, water distribution and sewage disposal system separate from the town facilities. Approval of the water and sewage systems by the department of environmental quality must be presented.

H. Public Street Access: Safe access to public streets must be provided at all commercial developments.
I. Livestock Prohibited: No commercial developments shall be allowed inside the town limits which houses or sells livestock.
J. Setbacks: All structures of extensions or structures shall be at least ten feet (10') from all streets and three feet (3') from all property lines of alleyways. A distance of fifteen feet (15') from property lines is requested if the adjacent lot is solely residential.
