Title 5 BUSINESS LICENSES AND REGULATIONS
Chapter 5.08 ALCOHOL SALES
5.08.240 Unobstructed view of licensed premises.
In premises upon which the sale of alcoholic liquor for
consumption upon the premises is licensed (other than as a restaurant or club),
no screen, blind, curtain, partition, article or thing shall be permitted in the
windows or upon the doors of such licensed premises nor inside such premises,
which shall prevent a clear view in the interior of such premises from the
street, road or sidewalk at all times, and no booth, screen, partition or other
obstruction nor any arrangement of lights or lighting shall be permitted in or
about the interior of such licensed premises which shall prevent a full view of
the entire interior of such premises from the street, road or sidewalk, and the
premises must be so located that there shall be a full view of the entire
interior of such premises from the street, road or sidewalk. All rooms where
alcoholic liquor is sold for consumption upon the premises shall be continuously
lighted during business hours by natural light or artificial white light so that
all parts of the interior of the premises shall be clearly visible. In case the
view into any such licensed premises required by the foregoing provision is
wilfully obscured by the licensee or by him wilfully suffered to be obscured or
in any manner obstructed, then the license shall be subject to revocation in the
manner provided in this chapter. In order to enforce the provisions of this
section, the president of the village board of trustees shall have the right to
require the filing with them of plans, drawings and photographs showing the
clearance of view as required in this section. (Ord. 7-1974 § 13,
