An application for renewal of a license subject to this article shall be denied pursuant to the provisions of § 369-1 only following notice and opportunity for hearing as provided by § 369-4 below.
Prior to any denial of an application for renewal of a license, including denials pursuant to § 369-1, the applicant shall be given notice and opportunity for a hearing as hereinafter provided:
A. 
With respect to licenses renewable under Chapter 355, Article I, of this Code, notice and opportunity for hearing shall be as provided by § 125.12, Wis. Stats., as amended from time to time.

With respect to licenses other than those described in Subsection A herein, the Village Board or its assignee shall notify the applicant in writing of the Village's intention not to renew the license and shall provide the applicant with an opportunity for hearing. The notice shall state the reasons for the intended action and shall establish a date, not less than three days nor more than 10 days after the date of the notice, on which the applicant shall appear before the Village Board. If the applicant shall fail to appear before the Board on the date indicated on the notice, the Board shall deny the application for renewal. If the applicant appears before the Board on the date indicated in the notice and denies that the reasons for nonrenewal exist, the Village Board shall conduct a hearing with respect to the matter. At the hearing, both the Village and the applicant may produce witnesses, cross-examine witnesses and be represented by counsel. The applicant shall, upon request, be provided a written transcript of the hearing at the applicant's expense.
