the 1971 Code)]
A.
No person, firm or corporation shall conduct any children's
ride, adult ride, circus, carnival, tent show, music festival, exhibition
or performance, nor any shooting gallery or open-air exhibition or
performance of any kind whatsoever within the Village of East Hampton
without first having obtained a license therefor.
B.
Written application must be made to the Mayor upon
forms to be obtained from the Village Clerk, and when fully and duly
completed and executed, must be filed with said Village Clerk with
a fee of $25 for each day for which said license is applied for, and
a further sum of $500 to assure compliance with the terms upon which
each license shall be deemed to have been issued.
C.
The application must be filed at least 14 days in
advance of the earliest date for which the license is applied for.
D.
The application must be signed and verified by an
adult who shall be responsible for the statements therein and for
the conditions upon which each license is deemed issued. No license
shall be issued to any person who has been convicted of a felony.
A license issued shall be revoked forthwith for any violation of any
of the terms or conditions herein set forth.
E.
The application shall clearly describe the premises
to be used.
A license shall be issued only if the proposed
performance is sponsored by and is under the auspices of some local
charitable, fraternal, civic or religious organization as shall have
been approved by the Village Board, such approval being granted primarily
on the basis of the aims and objectives of such organization and the
assurance that its funds may not be diverted to the benefit of private
individuals; such assurance shall be presumed as to those organizations
which have been approved by the United States Internal Revenue Service
as exempt from the requirements of federal income tax provisions.
Any applicant for a license shall be required
to provide free automobile parking space adjacent to the premises
to be used, to the extent of an area at least twice the size of the
area to be used for the undertaking to which the license shall apply;
and to provide and maintain sanitary latrines of a number and type
approved by rules of the Suffolk County Department of Health for the
use of persons engaged in conducting the undertaking to which the
license shall apply and for the patrons of the said licensed undertaking,
during the licensed period.
Upon the expiration or revocation of the license,
the applicant shall leave the site clean and free of all debris, and
thereupon the deposit of $500 shall be returned to the applicant.
For a failure to clean up the premises or site, the same shall be
done at the expense of the applicant. Of the $500, so much thereof
as may be necessary shall be expended by the Village to defray the
cost thereof.
The applicant shall be required to prevent patrons,
licensees and/or invitees of the undertaking for which the license
is issued, or persons engaged in conducting the same, from trespassing
upon any adjoining property or premises, and shall set forth in the
application the details of how same shall be accomplished.
Any person, firm or corporation violating any
of the provisions of this article shall, upon conviction thereof,
be subject to a fine not exceeding the sum of $250 for any offense,
and each day that a violation continues shall be deemed to constitute
a separate offense.
