It is the intent of the Board of Trustees to permit outdoor
cafes in the business districts of the Village. The purpose of this
chapter is to regulate such use. The regulations set forth below are
intended to enhance the downtown business districts and make them
more attractive, yet ensure the safety and health of the public and
not restrict public passage as a result of such outdoor cafes.
