License holders may develop facilities defined herein as the "adjacent premises facility," which shall permit and allow such licensees to sell such alcoholic liquors as are allowed to be sold under the license then duly held. Such sales conducted within this adjacent premises facility shall be confined to a defined enclosed area (roof not required). The application for an adjacent premises facility shall be on a form provided by the Village Clerk and shall, in writing:
A. 
State the hours during which liquor is to be sold;
B. 
Describe the physical improvements to be made by the applicant to ensure that minors shall not be frequenting the adjacent premises facility and to ensure that minors are not served, offered or allowed to possess alcoholic drinks;
C. 
State information showing the ownership of the land proposed to be developed, and, if different than the licensee, include an affidavit signed by the owner of the land, stating that the owner has freely and fully consented to the development of such a facility.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. I)]
The Mayor may refuse to approve the application for an adjacent premises facility as provided for herein if it is found that:
A. 
Any provision of state law, local ordinance or other duly adopted rule or regulation relating to the licensing or sale of alcoholic liquor at retail, other than those provisions which would be in direct conflict with the provisions herein relating to the application, would be violated;
B. 
To grant the application would pose any threat to public safety or would likely create a public nuisance; or
C. 
The improvements proposed by the licensee to ensure the protection of minors are not adequate to reasonably ensure such protection.
A. 
An application for an adjacent premises facility, if approved, may be conditioned upon the applicant enforcing certain conditions, including, but not limited to, those imposed for the protection of minors. Whenever deemed appropriate by the Mayor, the failure of a licensee to enforce such imposed conditions may constitute grounds to suspend or revoke the liquor license of the licensee duly issued by the Village for the establishment adjacent to the premises regulated under this article.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. I)]
