If the application is in compliance with all provisions of this Ordinance, and no written protest in opposition to the granting of the permit, based on one or more of the grounds set forth in subsection 5.10 of this Ordinance is filed, then the Superintendent will, in accordance with this Ordinance, within ten (10) days after date of publication of notice, issue a permit. If a written protest in opposition to the application is filed within seven (7) days from the date of publication of the notice and the Superintendent determines that the protest is not well founded, he will, after three (3) days notice to the protestant, issue the permit unless the protestant, within said three (3) days files notice of appeal to the City Council. In the event the Superintendent has found cause to deny the permit then the Superintendent shall, within ten (10) days of the filing of said application, inform the applicant in writing of reasons for such denial, and return the original copy of the application and filing fee to the applicant. In the event of a written protest on grounds which are found to be sufficient by the Superintendent, followed by the denial of the permit, the Superin- tendent shall return the original copy of the application and filing fee to the applicant and inform the applicant in writing of his reasons for such denial. In either case the applicant may then rectify the reason for denial of the permit and resubmit the same to the Superin- tendent or appeal to the City Council through the procedure described in Section 5.7. Minutes Regular Council Meeting May 8, 1968 Page Eight In the event of appeal by the protestant, the City Council shall set a date for the hearing and publish a notice as provided in subsection 5.8 and inform the applicant of the date of such hearing.

Each drilling block as to all depths and all minerals thereunder is exempt from the well density and unitization provisions of this Ordinance when an existing well, as defined in subsection 2.11 hereof, is situated thereon and such unitization and density exemption shall continue so long as said existing well is not required to be plugged and thereafter shall continue to be exempt if the conditions in Paragraph D of this subsection are met. B. All or such portion of a drilling block as is included in a pooled unit with an existing well situated on said unit is exempt andshall continue exempt after such well is required to be plugged, if the conditions of Paragraph D of this subsection are met. C. All or such portion of a drilling block which is included in a pooled unit with an existing well situated on such unit or which is covered by an oil and gas lease or leases and allocated to an existing well in which common ownership exists between said well and said lease or teases is exempt from the well den§ity and unitization provisions of this ordinarace and such exemption shall continue until the well is ordered plugged unless the conditions of Paragraph D of this subsection are met. D. Upon a cessation of production in paying quantities from any existing well (unless the well meets the conditions described in Paragraph D of subsection 6.31) if additional drilling or reworking operations are commenced on such well or a replacement well is commenced, within ninety (90) days and prosecuted with no cessation of more than ninety (90) consecutive days until production of oil, gas or other mineral is restored, such production shall continue Minutes Regular Council Meeting May 8, 1968 Page Nine in effect the exemption from the well density and unitization provisions of this Ordinance.

If the remaining portion is Tess than twenty (20) acres R also shall be exempt as part of the original drilling block and under the same conditions. 3.5 REMOVAL OF EXEMPTION. When any of the above exempt acreage in subsection 3.4 no longer meets the requirements for exemption, then such acreage shall be a part of that drilling block in which it was originally located and subject to all the provisions of this Ordinance, provided, however, thateven if there be a producing well on the drilling block as reduced in acreage under the provisions of Paragraph E of sub- section 3.4, then that acreage which was exempt shall become part of that drilling block on which there is no producing well or exemption from the well density and unitization provisions of this. Ordinance, with which it has the common boundary; and if there be no such nonexempt block then the acreage which has lost its exemption shall become a separate designated drilling block with the same number as the original number of the drilling block, with the letter "F" following the figure. B. The shape of such a production unit will be such that no drilling block becomes isolated as a result of its formation so that such drilling block cannot be made a contiguous part to a separate or different production unit; provided, however, that if it is desired to isolate a drilling block by formation of such a production unit, the operator desiring to so isolate said drilling block may do so upon a showing that he has given an opportunity to the mineral interest owners of said drilling block by a thirty (30) day written notice, delivered to or mailed by certified mail to their last known address, ex- tending the option to join in a production unit. If more than fifty (50) percent of the mineral interest owners desire to join and execute proper pooling agreements, then that Minutes Regular Council Meeting May 8, 1968 Page Tan drilling block shall become a part of the production unit. If less than fifty (50) percent of the mineral interest owners fail to execute such pooling agreement then said drilling block may be isolated by the formation of a production unit.
