when such space is used for required off-street parking and a certificate
of occupancy is issued for same.
Upon the filing of the application as provided in §
93-36, the Board of Trustees may, upon the approval of such application after investigation by the Department of Public Works and the payment to the Village Clerk of the license fee hereinafter provided, issue to the applicant a license to establish or maintain or use premises for a parking space for the storage or parking of more than five automobiles or other vehicles. All licenses shall be numbered in the order in which they are issued and shall state clearly the location of the parking space, the date of issuance and the expiration and the address of the licensee. No applicant to whom a license has been refused shall make further application until a period of at least six months shall have elapsed since the last previous rejection, unless the applicant can show that the reason for such rejection no longer exists.

cause as upon investigation may deem sufficient, revoke any license
granted under the provisions of this article. Whenever any license
shall be so revoked, no refund of any unearned portion of the fee
thereof shall be made and no license shall be granted to any firm,
person or corporation whose license has been revoked within a period
of two years from date of such revocation. Notice of such revocation
and the reasonable reasons therefor, in writing, shall be served by
the Board of Trustees upon the person, firm or corporation named in
the application, by mailing the same to the address given in the application
and upon filing a copy of such with the Village Clerk.
