Duration/Review  The Applicant shall notify the Village Administrator when operations
  under this permit commence and Applicant may be required to appear
  before the Village Board for a review approximately six months
  thereafter, at which time changes may be made to this special use
  permit, as appropriate. Such review may address compliance and
  actual neighborhood impacts, including, but not limited to noise,
  parking, traffic, litter, complaints, inspections, and enforcement
  history. The scheduling of a review will not amend the permit or limit
  earlier enforcement action.
Other  The garage-style door on Hamlin Avenue serving the Rear Special
  Event and Entertainment Area may be open only between sunrise and
  sunset, and only when any music being played is unamplified. It must
  remain fully closed during all amplified music or amplified
  entertainment, including sound checks, and from sunset until sunrise.
  Whenever the garage door is open, the Applicant shall prevent ordinary
  patron entry or exit through the opening. No outdoor seating, service,
  or entertainment is authorized beyond the frame of the garage-style
  door. Any barrier or other access-control measure must preserve all
  required emergency egress.
  Permission to open the garage door does not authorize sound
  otherwise violative of Chapter 171 of the Village Code or the
  Noise/Amplified Sound condition of this permit.
