§ 6-129. Additional architectural standards for retail sales establishments.

(a)

No licensee for the sale of alcoholic beverages by the package shall operate under such license unless the front entrance to the licensed premises is clearly visible from the public street; provided, however, that this restriction shall not apply where the licensee is a hotel, motel, private club, farm winery, distillery, brewery, or is located in a shopping center or multiple story business building. Clearly visible shall mean that not less than 60 percent of the front area shall be glass. Front area shall mean the width of the premises from the ceiling to the floor.

(b)

No screen, blind, curtain, partition, article or thing which shall prevent a clear view into the interior shall be permitted in the window or upon the doors of any retail store for the sale of alcoholic beverages by the package, and no booth, screen, partition or other obstruction shall be permitted within the interior of any such store. Each such store shall be so lighted that the interior of the store is visible day and night. This subsection shall not apply to farm wineries, distilleries, or breweries.

(c)

Private clubs which have been granted licenses under this chapter to sell spirituous liquors at retail shall not have an outside or street entrance for such retail outlet to sell to the general public, nor shall any such establishments make any sales to any member of the general public who is not a member of the private club.
