Sec. 7-143. Exemptions.
(a) A person may operate a solid fuel-fired heating device during a high pollution day if an exemption has previously been obtained from the Building Inspector. An exemption may be granted if the applicant submits a sworn statement that either:
(1) A solid fuel-fired burning device is the sole source of heat and that said device was installed prior to the effective date of the ordinance codified herein; or
(2) An electrical heating system is the primary source and a solid fuel-fired heating device is a supplemental heating system, and said system was installed prior to the effective date of the ordinance codified herein. A fee to cover the administrative costs of the exemption certificate may be charged. The fee shall be established and from time to time revised by resolution of the Board of Trustees.
(b) An exemption obtained under this Section shall be effective for one (1) year from the date it is granted and may be renewed upon submission of a new sworn statement as provided in Subsection (a) above.
(c) An exemption granted as provided herein may be revoked by the Town if the solid fuel-fired heating device is operated inefficiently so as to create a nuisance due to excessive smoke production.
(d) The exemption certificate shall be posted in a conspicuous location near the main entrance to be visible from the street. (Ord. 363 § 1, 1993)
