The provision of this section <br />notwithstanding, fire lanes may be required to be located within <br />thirty (30') feet of a building, if deemed to be reasonably <br />necessary by the Fire Code Official, to enable proper protection <br />of the building. A five (5') foot wide level pathway shall be <br />provided unobstructed through all barriers. A continuous row <br />of parking between the fire lane and the structure shall be <br />considered a barrier. <br />Fire lane and access easements shall be provided to serve all <br />buildings through parking areas, to service entrances of <br />buildings, loading areas and trash collection areas, and other <br />areas deemed necessary to be available to fire and emergency <br />vehicles. The Fire Code Official is authorized to designate <br />additional requirements for fire lanes where the same is <br />reasonably necessary so as to provide access for fire and rescue <br />personnel. <br />Fire lanes provided during the platting process shall be so <br />indicated on the plat as an easement. Where fire lanes are <br />provided and a plat is not required, the limits of the fire lane <br />shall be shown on a site plan and placed on permanent file with <br />the Fire Marshal and City Engineer. <br />No owner or person in charge of any premises served by a fire <br />lane or access easement shall abandon, restrict or close any fire <br />lane or easement without first securing from the City of Paris, <br />approval of an amended plat or other acceptable legal <br />instrument showing the removal of the fire lane. <br />(33) Sec. 503.2.1 shall be amended to read as follows: <br />503.2.1 Dimensions.
