§ 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.
