A. A license granted under this chapter may be revoked by the Town Board
at any time prior to the assembly for:

license or contained in the license; or
(2) Violation of any other provision of this chapter; or
(3) Discovery that information supplied in the license application or

the Dakota County Sheriff that there exists an imminent danger of

The Town Board may, by majority resolution, grant a variance
from the requirements of this chapter in any particular case where
the applicant can show that strict compliance with this chapter would
cause practical difficulties by reason of the special nature of the
proposed assembly or by reason of the fact that the circumstances
make the requirement of this chapter unnecessary, provided that such
variance may be granted without detriment to the public health, safety,
or welfare and without impairing the intent and purpose of this chapter.
[Added 11-8-2010 by Ord.
No. 2010-4]

of said entity may be charged for violation of this chapter. Prosecution
of violations as a misdemeanor does not preclude the Town from seeking
other legal remedies relating to any violation.
