Code.
Any business that wishes to engage in a temporary or periodical
special event that is outside its normal operations shall be required
to obtain a special event permit.
A.Â
A business is defined as any sole proprietorship, corporation, limited
liability corporation, or partnership.

An event outside of normal operations shall include promotional events
that include activities and/or events not regularly conducted on the
business premises such as a gathering at which food and beverages
are supplied, tent sales, sales of items that are not normally a part
of the business inventory or outside gatherings at which there are
speakers and music.
The business shall purchase a special use license from the Village
by application to the Village Clerk at least 30 days in advance of
the event, which application shall provide information on the name
of the business, any event sponsors, the type of activity planned,
copies of any NYS licenses required for the event, a copy of the business
owner's liability insurance policy showing coverage for the event
planned, the name and telephone numbers of a contact person to be

The fee for issuance of the special event permit shall be $50
per day that the permit is in force or $250 for six months, payable

The Village may refuse to issue a permit upon good cause shown,
such as criminal activity, traffic congestion due to the event, complaints
from neighbors of noise, or refuse problems, lack of adequate facilities
for the numbers of people that attended previous events, etc.
A violation of this chapter is punishable by a fine of not less
than $250, and not more than $500, for each day that the event is
