Whenever, in the opinion of the City Administrator, the installation of a fuel tank in the street area will not interfere with the present use or with any contemplated plans for the early use of any street, a permit may be granted by the City Administrator. The permit may then be issued to the owner or occupant of the lot or tract adjacent to the street to be occupied by the fuel tank, upon payment of a fee as prescribed in Section 17.24.020.

The applicant for fuel tank installation in the street area must sign an application for permit in which the applicant agrees to accept the revocable permit subject to its terms and limitations, saving the City harmless from damages for themselves and for anyone claiming under them.

The permit when issued will be in substantially the following form:

This permit is revocable at any time at the pleasure of the City Administrator.  No expenditure of money, lapse of time, or other act or thing may operate as an estoppel against the City or be held to give the grantee any vested or other right.  Upon revocation, the grantee must within 30 days discontinue the use of the tank and must put the portion of the street affected by said tank in a condition as good as the adjacent portion of the street, all of which must be done as directed by and to the satisfaction of the City Administrator.

The grantee assumes full responsibility for all accidents or damage that may occur in connection with the installation of the tank, and agrees to hold the City and each and all the officers and employees of the City free and harmless from any claims for damages to persons or property that may be occasioned by the installation or its maintenance.
