In a general discussion, the Commission stated that granting the permit would not be
a general zone change for the area but a specific use for this property only. Code
Enforcement Officer Ernie Buenrosto stated the local Fire Code places a 2,000 gallon
maximum on -ground storage installation on this type of business which excludes the
two 2400 gallon tank trucks Mr. Compton proposes to have on site for off -site
refueling.
Safety features were discussed with Mr. Compton, including those required by the
Railroad Commission, additional safeguards he plans to implement on his own,
differences in handling LPG and gasoline since it had previously been a drive -in
grocery which sold gasoline and that a residence close to the proposed facility was
33 feet away.
John Munsch, a representative of the Fire Department, had spoken against granting the
permit based on the hazardous nature of the proposed business which resulted in
further concerns by the Commission members. Code Enforcement Officer Ernie
Buenrostro stated that he had met with the Fire Chief and the Fire Marshal and had
discussed LPG installation and they, personally, had no problems with that type of
business as long as it complied with all applicable codes. Because of the conflict
in testimony given by John Munsch and information provided by Ernie Buenrostro, the
Commission felt it should request a written statement from the Fire Department.
A motion was made by Benny Frank, seconded by Al Lentz, that Specific Use 12 be
tabled until the Commission receives an official document from the Fire Department
saying whether they are for or against and stating why.
Motion passed 7 to 0.
Chairman Savoie stated the Commission hopefully would be able to meet in two weeks
and resolve this issue.
