         a.   A site plan clearly delineating the boundaries of the restaurant premises to be licensed, including any outdoor areas (the "Restaurant Area"); the areas of the adjacent store in which alcohol can be consumed (the "Retail Service Area"); designated points of ingress/egress to and from the Restaurant Area and the Retail Service Area; examples of signage in compliance with this chapter; and the location of furniture within the Restaurant Area,
         b.   Written policies or employee training manual provisions of both the applicant and the Store Tenant addressing the cleaning and operations of the Retail Service Area in relation to alcoholic beverage service and consumption within the Retail Service Area. Such policies or training manuals shall, in any event, require that applicant personnel regularly monitor the Retail Service Area for used beverage containers and regularly retrieve any such containers.
      2.   The location of furniture within the Restaurant Area shall remain consistent during the term of the license, provided, however, the license holder may submit revised furniture diagrams for administrative review and approval by the Village Clerk, Village Fire Department and Village Building Office.
      3.   One (1) partially consumed bottle of wine may be taken outside the Restaurant Area and the Retail Service Area if it has been sealed in compliance with section 6-33 of the Liquor Control Act of 1934 (235 ILCS 5/6-33).
      4.   The license holder shall be required to provide a visually distinct and branded non-transferable wristband, bracelet, or similar item to persons seeking to consume alcoholic beverages within the Retail Service Area prior to such persons exiting the Restaurant Area with alcoholic liquor.
      5.   The license holder shall only serve alcoholic liquor for consumption within the Retail Service Area in glassware or containers having a tag or other feature making them visually distinct from merchandise in the Retail Service Area.

Further, alcoholic liquor may only be consumed within the Retail Service Area (i) if purchased from or dispensed within the Restaurant Area; (ii) during licensed Special Events held pursuant to Class F licenses held by the Store Tenant, or (iii) during private events not open to the general public.

         b.   Alert customers that exiting the Restaurant Area with any alcoholic beverages (other than to the Retail Service Area) is prohibited; and
