(a) Any license issued according to this chapter may be revoked by the Township Clerk for the following reasons, in addition to or independent of the reasons set forth in Section 850.11:
(1) Upon the investigation, recommendation, and approval of the Chief of Police, or his or her representative, for any violation of this chapter by the licensee;
(2) The licensee is no longer able to satisfy the requirements to obtain a license;
(3) The license has been suspended three times in a ten year period; or
(4) There has been misrepresentation or withholding of information upon the original or renewal of the license applications.
(b) Notice of revocation may be given by delivery to the licensee or applicant on file with the Township, by personal delivery to the establishment or by first class mail, depositing the same in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the licensee at the address stated on the license application. If the notice is mailed, it shall be deemed delivered upon deposit of the notice in the United States mail.
(c) The revocation shall be effective ten days after written notice delivered to the licensee. The notice of revocation shall include the same information required elsewhere in this chapter for informing an applicant that a license application has been denied.
(d) Any revocation issued under this chapter may be appealed to the Zoning Board of Appeals.
(e) An appeal of any revocation shall automatically stay the revocation pending the outcome of the appeal, unless the Chief of Police, Fire Chief, or Building Official determines that continued operation under the license would pose an unreasonable risk to the safety, health, or welfare of a patron, an employee, or the general public.
(f) Following the determination of an appeal or if an appeal is not taken, the licensee shall return all copies of the license to the Township Clerk, and the Chief of Police may take possession of the license wherever it may be found.
