2. Corner curbing would have to be 251 before they could start an entrance
except in special cases where the property is very small the cur~i~g might be
reduced slightly.
3. We usually request that the entrances be on an angle , from 30 to 45 degrees,
to permit trafficm to move slowly and smoothly and not straight in to the station.
4. A minimum of 15t for setback should be retsined as lO! is a little too close
from the property line to the pump islands.
5- Restrictions concerning anything within the property line is the prerogative
of the Town.
6. We could specify that an asphalt black top be put in all the way to the
curbing, which would provide a sidewalk, and a low b~.rrier type fence betweea
entrances so that cars would not cut across.
7. Tanks can be set anywhere, depend%ngupon the layout of the property.
8. Fills for the pumps must Be on the property, not on the sidewalk.
9. There are no restrictions on tanks. If you want to set up a standard as to
location of tanks that is your prerogative. They should be set so that they do
not effect station Operation, preferably Sehind the pump line.
10. Signs should be placed on the property and not overt~ang property line.
Mr. Parsons further explained that his department operates solely through Permit
of Access. Each station applies for their own permit. The Department of Labor
checks safety requirements concerning buildings. In the case of trees just
outside of the property, at least one of the trees will have to come out. They
will have to get permission from your department and must apply to our office
for permission to do the work. w~' ~khs~~Pa~rk,~
