[HISTORY: Adopted by the Township Council of the Township of Livingston 11-5-1979 as §§ 5-50 to 5-58 of the 1979 Revised General Ordinances. Amendments noted where applicable.]
Any place or establishment where roller-skating is carried on and admission is obtained by purchase of a ticket or token, or payment of a fee, or by payment of a charge for checking clothing or other properties.
No person shall conduct, or engage in, the business of operating a roller-skating rink in any premises within the Township without first having obtained a license therefor, as provided in this chapter, and upon payment of an annual license fee of $300.
Any person desiring to obtain a license to conduct, or engage in, the business of operating a roller-skating rink shall make application for the same, in quintuplicate, to the Township Clerk.
Hours of intended operation for said roller-skating rink.
The application shall be accompanied by a plat or drawing of the premises, in quintuplicate, drawn to scale, showing its location, size and capacity; the location and size of entrances and exits; the location and number of toilet facilities; and such other data or information as may be necessary or required to show compliance with all the requirements of this chapter.
If, after investigation and reports by the officials referred to in § 240-5, the Council is satisfied that the individuals and manager, if any, named in the application are persons of good moral character and capable of operating the proposed roller-skating rink in a manner consistent with the public safety and good morals, and that all of this chapter's requirements have been met and further that the pertinent provisions of the Building Code, Fire Prevention Code and Plumbing Code that govern the Township have been fully complied with, the Council shall authorize the Township Clerk to issue the license.[1]
Hours of operation. The licensee shall not permit, suffer or allow the licensed premises to be or remain open for business at any time after midnight on any day.
Persons excluded. The licensee shall not permit, suffer or allow any person who is intoxicated or disorderly to be admitted to the licensed premises or to remain therein.
Intoxicating liquors. No person in the licensed premises shall have in his possession or under his control, or offer to give to another to drink, any intoxicating liquor, nor shall a licensee permit, suffer or allow such conduct.
Provisions of this chapter are observed and complied with.
All such attendants and all other employees shall be at least 18 years of age.
Commercial activities. Any sale of food, beverages, confections or other articles of merchandise shall be governed by the laws and ordinances governing such business and shall require the same license or licenses as if such sales were conducted elsewhere.
Noise. No loudspeaker or public address system, nor any other manual, mechanical or electrical means or device for amplifying sound, shall at any time be used, or permitted to be used, upon the licensed premises so as to be heard out of doors. Any loud, unnecessary, annoying, offensive, undesirable or raucous noise which disturbs the public peace emitted by or emanating from the licensed premises is hereby declared to be a nuisance and detrimental to the public health, and is hereby prohibited.
When the operation of any roller-skating rink, or the conduct of any licensee, agent or employee, is so inimical to the public health, safety or general welfare as to give rise to an emergency or to constitute a nuisance, the Township Manager shall have the authority summarily to order the cessation of business and the closing of the licensed premises or to suspend the license; or the Council, after hearing, upon a showing of good cause for its so doing, may revoke any license issued hereunder. During such suspension, or after any such license shall have been revoked, the license shall be inoperative and of no effect.
