As used in this article, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:
PARTY
A neighborhood block party, celebration or event, but shall not include a garage sale, yard sale, bazaar, rummage sale or other similar activity having the principal purpose of fund-raising for an individual or an organization, nor shall it include a political meeting or rally, a carnival or theatrical or musical performances, such as rock concerts or similar events.
STREET
A Village street, highway or road.
The Board of Trustees or its designee shall be authorized to issue a permit for the temporary blocking of a street for the purpose of holding a party. An application for such permit shall be filed with the Board at least 10 days before the commencement of such party. Such application shall contain at least the following information: the name and address of the applicant; the name of the street or streets and a description of the portions thereof to be blocked; a description of the specific party to be held; and the date and the hours thereof. The application may require such additional information as the Board of Trustees shall prescribe by resolution.
The application shall be accompanied by a fee in an amount set by resolution of the Board of Trustees,[1] which fee shall not be refundable in the event that the permit is denied. The permit shall be granted by the Board of Trustees upon determining that the party is authorized by this article. The permit shall be denied if the Board finds that blocking the street or portion thereof on the date requested in the application will unduly interfere with the flow of vehicular traffic or upon determining that the party is not authorized under this article. The Board shall advise the applicant, in writing, of the reason for denial of the application. The Board of Trustees shall have the authority to waive the fee if the application is from a nonprofit or charitable organization.
