Operators of mobile home courts in Hornell should ensure their fuel storage arrangements comply with § 178-59 at all times. This means siting any liquefied petroleum gas container over 125 gallons at least 25 feet from all structures and lot lines, with physical protection against vehicle contact, and keeping fuel oil and flammable materials in configurations that eliminate fire risk. Routine site inspections can help confirm that storage areas remain in continuous compliance as conditions on the property change.
