No beer permit under the terms of this chapter shall be transferred between persons. A beer permit may be transferred by the holder from one location to another where the holder of a permit changes his place of distribution as a result of an eminent domain proceeding, loss of the place of distribution by destruction caused by acts of God, fire, acts of the permit holder's landlord, construction of a new place of distribution with abandonment of the prior place of distribution, or any other transfer of location by the permittee approved by the beer board; however, the transfer of a permit shall not be authorized where the permit holder sells or transfers by any means the business inventory, equipment and fixtures to another party.

1. The beer board is authorized to issue special occasion permits for a location within the historic district of the town for special events which shall be limited to two (2) events lasting up to three (3) consecutive days per organization during any twelve (12) month period.

The application fee for a special occasion license shall be the same as that for any other beer permit in the town and the application shall state the applicant's organization including documents showing evidence of the type of organization and the state of the location or the premises upon which the alcoholic beverages shall be served and the purpose for the request of the permit.
3. No organization possessing a special occasion permit shall purchase for sale or distribution any beer from any source other than a source authorized pursuant to state law.
4. The beer board is further empowered in its discretion to issue a special occasion permit establishing the times of sale for the location of the special event and said time shall not exceed that mandated by state law.
5. The beer board is empowered to permit any organization holding a valid special occasion permit to sell beer within an outdoor serving area under the terms, conditions, rules and regulations as the beer board shall establish, which are not inconsistent with state law regarding the sale of beer. Any organization desiring to utilize an outdoor serving area under this subsection shall complete and submit an application to the town on forms provided by the business office of the town and such application shall include, but not be limited to the following information:
   
   1. The site plan for the outdoor seating area showing where any beer is to be sold and consumed, the specific location of any furniture and equipment and how the area of public right-of-way is to be separated.
   2. The site plan shall also include the location of any barriers to prevent access to the serving area by the general public unless the same is identified by an admission wrist band and said sight plan shall designate the entry and admission area.

   3. The site plan shall show the height and material used in the fencing to separate the seating from the public and seating areas may be located on property owned by the town in the sole discretion of the beer board.

      No special event permit holder shall be allowed to sell more than four (4) twelve (12) ounce beers to any one (1) person during any special event day.

6. The applicant organization shall establish how in said application the sale of alcohol will be securely made to persons of sufficient age to comply with state law as well as the policy for serving beer in the outdoor area along with the plan for charging for said beer sales.
