Because of their more lengthy nature, and the potential for greater interference with the public, the following special provisions shall apply only to street festivals as defined in § 95.01. No street festival shall be held, nor any public street closed for the purpose of holding such a festival, without prior approval of a majority of the Board of Commissioners after public hearing. Notice of such public hearing shall be published in a newspaper of local circulation at least once not less than ten nor more than 25 days prior to the public hearing. Application for a permit to conduct a street festival shall be made upon a form provided by the Town Manager. Applicants shall be required to pay the cost of advertising notice of the public hearing. The Board of Commissioners may attach any reasonable conditions to the street festival permit that serve to promote protection of the public safety, health and welfare. The closing of streets owned or maintained by the state shall require concurrence of the State Department of Transportation. Street festival permits may be revoked by the Board of Commissioners for any substantial violation of the provisions of this section or of other laws by those participating in the festival. Sections 95.02 through 95.11 shall be inapplicable to this section.
