(a) A permittee shall maintain a fence around the drilling site in accordance with good oil field practice. Should a well be a producer, the permittee shall, on completion of the well, construct a fence, as specified by the Planning and Zoning Commission, around the well pump, and shall thereafter maintain that fence in a good state of repair. All landscaping shall be completed as soon as possible after setting of the storage tanks, but in no case longer than six months.

(b) All well pumps shall be operated by explosion-proof electric motors only unless otherwise approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission for good cause shown.

(c) All existing and future tank batteries, separators, drainage pits and all other installations of equipment used at oil well installations located within the corporate limits of the City, shall be surrounded by a fence, which fence shall be of sufficient height and construction to meet with the approval of the Planning and Zoning Commission. The fence shall be maintained in a state of repair satisfactory to the Zoning Inspector. The fence shall be a minimum of eight feet high, of design and material specified by the Planning and Zoning Commission, with suitable locking gates for access. Locking devices used on all gates, valves or other secured apparatus in conjunction with any well or tank battery operated by a permittee in the City shall all be keyed alike so that one key will provide access to any such secured apparatus. A copy of such key will be provided to the Fire Department. All shutoff valves shall be painted a conspicuous common color.
