Chapter 12 - Licenses and Permits

(6) ISSUANCE BY ADMINISTRATIVE AUTHORITIES. When administrative
authority to issue any license or permit is delegated to any Village officer, board
or commission under this chapter, such officer, board or commission shall grant
such license or permit when proper application has been made in accordance with
this chapter, unless the granting of the same appears to be contrary to the health,
safety, morals or general welfare of the public, in which case the reasons for denial
shall be put in writing and delivered or mailed to the applicant. The applicant
may, at any time within 30 days thereafter, request the Village Board to review
such determination or any failure to make the same, which action shall be taken by
the Village Board within 30 days after written request has been filed with the
Village Clerk/Treasurer.

under the provisions of this chapter, the Village Clerk/Treasurer shall check all

given to the permit or license holder either personally or by registered mail by the
Clerk/Treasurer at least 5 days prior to such hearing. Any license or permit issued
by the Village Board, any Village Officer or department shall remain the property
of the Village and upon revocation thereof, the same shall be returned to the
