Fire and Building Inspection Departments for investigation. These
departments shall furnish to the Village Board, in writing, a recommendation
as to whether the permit should be granted. The Police, Fire or Building
Inspection Department may recommend approval, approval with conditions
or restrictions, or denial of a permit where necessary to protect
the public health, safety or welfare, to prevent a nuisance from developing
or continuing, to preserve the aesthetics of the neighborhood, or
due to violation of this section, the Village Code of Ordinances,
or applicable state or federal law. Upon approval of the Village Board,
the Village Administrator shall issue the permit.
G. Limitations and restrictions. The following standards, criteria, conditions, and restrictions shall generally apply to all outdoor alcoholic beverage areas; provided, however, that the Building Inspector, Police Chief or designee may impose additional conditions and restrictions to protect and promote the public health, safety, or welfare, to prevent a nuisance from developing or continuing, and to comply with this section, the Village Code of Ordinances, and all applicable state and federal laws. (NOTE: Additional restrictions for year-round outdoor alcoholic beverage permit areas are articulated under Subsection

a permanent barrier is still required, but its structure may be less
opaque and less than six feet in height.
(2) Access to the outdoor entertaining area shall only be through the
main entrance to the "Class B" intoxicating liquor, Class "B" fermented

areas.

right-of-way or private property described in the permit. Said property
shall be clearly designated and marked or sectioned off in such a
manner that promotes the public health, safety, and welfare as determined
by the Building Inspector and Police chief or designee. The Building
Inspector, Police Chief or designee may impose additional conditions
and restrictions to enhance public safety.
(2) Tables, chairs, umbrellas or other fixtures:
(a)

deter patrons from using the outdoor alcoholic beverage area when

Shall be removed from the area when the permit is expired, suspended
or revoked.
(3) Alcoholic beverages shall only be served to patrons by a server,
except where the patron can exit the enclosed establishments and enter

(b)
Located in an area primarily zoned "commercial" or "industrial,"
and where any part of the outdoor entertainment area is at least 200
feet or more away from a building used as a dwelling for human occupancy
and zoned as residential.
(2) The qualified establishments, upon providing certification of meeting these conditions, are not required to comply with Subsections
G(5),
H(1) through
(3), and

and notice of a public informational hearing to be held prior to Village
Board approval. Such notice shall be made by the Village Administrator's
office via first-class mail.
M. Authority to suspend outdoor alcoholic beverage permit. The Building
Inspector, Police Chief, Shift Commander or designee of the Fox Valley
Metro Police Department has the authority to order any outdoor entertaining

the public health, safety, or welfare, to prevent a nuisance from
developing or continuing, in emergency situations, or due to noncompliance
with Village ordinances or the provisions of Ch. 125, Wis. Stats.
N. State statutes enforced within outdoor entertaining area. Every licensee
under this section shall comply with and enforce all provisions of
Ch. 125, Wis. Stats., applicable to "Class B," Class "B" and/or "Class
C" licensed premises, except insofar as such provisions are clearly
inapplicable. Violation of the provisions of Ch. 125, Wis. Stats.,

Board.
A. Procedure. Whenever the holder of any license under this article violates any portion of this article or Article
II of this chapter, proceedings for the revocation of such license may be instituted in the manner and under the procedure established by this section.
B. Abandonment of premises. Any licensee holding a license to sell alcoholic
beverages who abandons such business shall forfeit any right or preference
he/she may have to the holding of or renewal of such license. Abandonment
shall be sufficient grounds for revocation of any alcoholic beverage
license. The closing of the licensed premises for at least six months
shall be prima facie evidence of the abandonment, unless extended
by the Village Board. All persons issued a license to sell alcoholic
beverages in the Village for which a quota exists limiting the number
of such licenses that may be issued by the Village shall cause such
business described in such license to be operated on the premises
described in such license for at least 150 days during the terms of
such license, unless such license is issued for a term of less than
180 days, in which event this subsection shall not apply.
C. License revocation or suspension.
(1) Notice and hearing. Whenever a person holding a license to sell alcoholic
beverages has failed to maintain the premises according to standards
prescribed for sanitation, or in whose premises persons are permitted
to loiter for purposes of prostitution, or when the licensee has not
observed and obeyed any lawful order of the Village Board or police
officers of the Village, has violated Village ordinances, or for any
other good reason, the Village Board shall issue a summons, to be
signed by the Village Administrator, commanding the licensee complained
of to appear before a special committee designated by the Village
Board on a day and time and at a place named in the summons to show
cause why the license should not be revoked or suspended. Such summons
shall be served not less than three and not more than 10 days before
the time at which the licensee is commanded to appear and may be served
personally upon the licensee or the agent of the licensee or upon
the person in charge of the licensed premises. The complaint shall
be served with the summons and shall set forth the offense allegedly
committed, the date and place of said offense and the facts constituting
the alleged offense. If such licensee shall not appear as required
by the summons, the complaint shall be taken as true, and if the committee
deems its allegations sufficient, the committee shall recommend revocation
or suspension of the license as provided herein.
(2) Procedure on hearing; effect of revocation.
(a)
The designated committee shall serve as a hearing agency for
the Village Board.
(b)
The Chairman of the Committee, or the Chair's designee, shall
conduct the hearing, administer oaths to all witnesses and may issue
subpoenas. So far as practicable, the rules of evidence provided in
§ 227.45, Wis. Stats., shall be followed. The complainant
shall have the burden of proving the charges to a preponderance of
the evidence. The licensee and the complainant may be represented
by counsel, may call and examine witnesses and cross-examine witnesses
of the other party. All proceedings and testimony shall be recorded
on tape and transcribed. If either party requests a stenographic recording
and transcription, the Village shall make the necessary arrangements,
but the expenses shall be borne by the requesting party. The Village
Administrator shall serve as Secretary to the Committee and shall
make and receive all exhibits admitted into the record.
(c)
Within 10 days of the completion of the hearing and filing of
briefs, if any, the Committee, upon the testimony and evidence presented
at the hearing, shall determine by simple majority vote of those present
whether the charges are true and, if so, submit a report to the Village
Board including its findings of fact, conclusions of law and a recommendation
as to what action, if any, the Village Board should take with respect
to the license. If the recommendation is to suspend the license, it
shall be for a period of not less than 10 days or more than 90 days.
Following the procedure above, the recommendation may be to revoke
the license. If the Committee determines that the charges are not
substantiated, it shall recommend to the Village Board that the complaint
be dismissed without cost to either party. The Committee's recommendation
shall be promptly filed with the Village Administrator. The Administrator
shall prepare five copies of the transcript of the proceedings, all
exhibits and the recommendation of the Committee.
(d)
At the regular meeting of the Village Board after the filing
of the Committee's recommendation, the Village Board shall act on
the recommendation and may reverse or modify any portion thereof by
a simple majority vote. The recommendation of the Committee shall
become the decision of the Village Board unless reversed or modified.
No further testimony or evidence shall be allowed before the Village
Board. Only those members of the Village Board who have certified
to the Village Administrator in writing that they have read the transcript,
exhibit and recommendation made shall be permitted to vote on the
matter. The Village Administrator shall make the said certifications
a part of the record. The decision of the Village Board shall be a
final determination for purposes of judicial review.
(e)
If the complaint is found to be true, the licensee shall pay
to the Village the actual cost of the proceedings. If the complaint
is found by the Village Board to be malicious and without probable
cause, the complainant shall pay the cost of the proceedings in the
same amount.
(f)
When a license is revoked, it shall be so entered of record
by the Village Administrator, and no other license shall be granted
to such licensee or for such premises for a period of 12 months from
the date of the revocation, nor shall any part of the money paid as
application fee for any license so revoked be refunded.
D. Nonrenewal of license. The Village Attorney may, after investigation, commence an action before the Committee to hear evidence and make a recommendation to the Village Board that a license issued pursuant to this article not be renewed. The Chairman of the Committee shall, in writing, notify the licensee of the consideration of nonrenewal. Such notification shall be in the form of and shall serve as the summons and complaint and shall include a statement of the reasons for the consideration of the nonrenewal of the license in the same specificity required for a summons and complaint for revocation or suspension. If the license is recommended for nonrenewal, costs may be assessed against the licensee and any renewal application fee shall be forfeited. In all other respects, the provisions of Subsection
C above shall apply. The commencement of this action shall stay action by the Village Board on the licensee's application until the Committee makes its recommendation.
E. Other provisions. Any license issued pursuant to this article shall
be subject to such further regulations and restrictions as may be
imposed by the Village Board by amendment to this article or by the
enactment of new ordinances. If any licensee shall fail or neglect
to meet the requirements imposed by such new restrictions and regulations,
his/her license may be revoked in accordance with this section. In
case of revocation of any license for any violation of any provision
of this article in accordance with this section or by the Court or
for any reasonable cause except the imposition of new restrictions,
