(A) Order. Applications for permits shall be processed and scheduled giving preference in the following order to the following activities and groups, regardless of the order of receipt of fully executed applications:

(3) Other units of local government located in the village;
(4) Village approved activities sponsored by an individual or group of village residents; and
(5) All others in the order the applications were received.
(B) Approval. Applications for permits shall be approved or denied within 7 business days of the filing of a complete application. If no written denial is issued within 7 days of the date on which the application is fully completed, executed and filed with the Mayor or designated alternate, the village may extend the period of review for an additional 7 business days by issuance of a written notice of extension. If, prior to the expiration of the extended review period, no written denial is issued, the application for permit shall be deemed approved.
(C) Notice of extended review or denial or issuance of permit. Written notice of denial or notice of extension shall be served on the applicant by personal delivery, or by deposit in United States mail, with proper postage prepaid, to the name and address set forth on the application for permit.
(D) Contents of notice; grounds for denial. Notice of denial of an application for permit shall clearly set forth the grounds upon which the permit was denied and, where feasible, shall contain a proposal by the village for measures by which the applicant may cure any defects in the application for permit or otherwise procure a permit. Where an application for permit has been denied because a fully executed prior application for the same time and place has been received, and a permit has been or will be granted to the prior applicant authorizing uses or activities which do not reasonably permit multiple occupancy of the particular area, the village shall propose an alternate place, if available for the same time, or an alternate time, if available for the same place. The village may deny an application for permit on any of the following grounds:
(1) The application for permit is not fully completed and executed;
(2) The applicant has not tendered the indemnification agreement or the indemnification agreement has not been tendered in a timely manner;
(3) The application for permit contains a material falsehood or misrepresentation;
(4) The applicant or the person on whose behalf the application for permit was made has, on prior occasions, damaged village property and has not paid in full for such damage, or has other outstanding and unpaid debts to the village;
(5) A fully executed prior application for permit for the same time and place has been received, and a permit has been or will be granted to a prior applicant authorizing uses or activities which do not reasonably permit multiple occupancy of the particular park or part thereof;
(6) The use or activity intended by the applicant would conflict with previously planned programs organized and conducted by the village;
(7) The proposed use or activity is prohibited by or inconsistent with the recognized and accepted uses of village park or part thereof;
(8) The applicant has not complied or cannot comply with applicable licensure requirements, ordinances or regulations of the village concerning the sale or offering for sale of any goods or services;
(9) The use or activity intended by the applicant is prohibited by law, by this chapter, or by another ordinance of the village establishing park rules and regulations;
(10) The applicant has not secured the requisite insurance;
(11) The applicant or others who will be present at the event have an unacceptable criminal background and/or are registered sex offender;
(12) The applicant or the person on whose behalf the application for permit was made, has on prior occasions made material misrepresentations regarding the nature or scope of the event or activity previously permitted or has violated the terms of prior permits issued to the applicant; or
(13) The use of a village park property by applicant would conflict with the use of the village park property by a person or persons given a higher priority pursuant to this chapter.
(E) Amendment or revision of applications. Any amendment or revision of an application for permit shall, for purposes of determining the priority of the application for permit, relate back to the original filing thereof, but the time in which the village shall grant or deny the application for permit and serve notice of such granting or denial shall be computed from the date of the amendment or revision.
