Section 513. Permit Required.
No licensee for the sale of liquor to be consumed on his licensed premises shall permit in that facility, any music, except radio or other mechanical device, any dancing or entertainment of any sort, unless the licensee shall first obtain from the municipality in which the licensed premises or facility is situated, a special amusement permit signed by at least a majority of the municipal officers.
Applications for all special amusement permits shall be made in writing to the municipal officers and shall state the name of the applicant; his residential address; the name of the business to be conducted; his business address; the nature of his business; the location to be used; whether the applicant has ever had a license to conduct the business therein described either denied or revoked; and if so, the applicant shall describe those circumstances specifically; whether the applicant, including all partners or corporate officers, has ever been convicted of a felony, and if so, the applicant shall describe specifically those circumstances and any additional information as may be needed by the municipal officers in the
issuing of the permit, including but not limited to a copy of the applicant's current liquor license.
No permit shall be issued for anything, or act, or premises, if the premises and building to be used for the purposes do not fully comply with all ordinances, articles, bylaws, or rules and regulations of the municipality.
The fee for a special amusement permit shall be $25.00.
The municipal officers shall, prior to granting a permit and after reasonable notice to the municipality and the applicant, hold a public hearing within 15 days of the date that the request was received, at which the testimony of the applicant and that of any interested members of the public shall be taken.
The municipal officers shall grant a permit unless they find that issuance of the permit will be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or would violate municipal ordinances, or rules and regulations, articles, or bylaws.
A permit shall be valid only for the license year of the applicant's existing liquor license.
