Weinand, Dir. of Community Dev./Fire Chief�'��-' Date: February 2, 2011 R Subject: Modification of Section 78-295, concerning outside I�.P. Fuel sales. Attached is Ordinance 2-11, that modifies Sec. 78-284. Walls and fences. The intent of this code change is to clarify the language to reflect the objective of the Village Council relative to placement of fence and walls in association of structures and by requiring entry features to provide adequate width for emergency vehicles. I'm also requesting modification to Section 78-295 (1) of the Village of Tequesta Code of Ordinances to allow for outside L.P. Fuel Sales. Section 78-295, (1) states "Enclosure of uses. All commercial uses shall be operated entirely within enclosed buildings except for the following uses: off-street loading, automobile parking, and the fuel sales and dispensing facilities of full-service fuel stations or gas stations, sidewalk cafes, and drive-in, drive-through, or walk-up service window facilities, i.e., laundry, dry cleaning, and banking facilities." Strict interpretation of this code does not allow the exterior display of portable L.P. gas cylinders for sale or exchange. m:�administration documenls�village manager�agenda item I.p. fuel safes.11232010.doe I ORDINANCE NO. 2-11 AN ORDINANCE OF THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF THE VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA, AMENDING THE VILLAGE CODE OF ORDINANCES AT CHAPTER 78.
