§ 8-139. Total number of licenses; number of vehicles per license; review of applications; authority to restrict area of operation

(a) In an attempt to reconcile the quaint and appealing aspect of such a mode of transportation with the narrowness of the roads and the congestion that exists during the summer months, the town council shall be authorized to approve not more than three such licenses to be in operation at the same time.

(b) Each license shall provide authority for the operation of one vehicle as defined in section 8-136 except that any licensee may put one additional vehicle on the road for a specific wedding or similar private event to be described on the applications; provided, however, that any such license is good only for a specific event and time as listed on the license.

(c) Any license application, whether for a full license or the one additional vehicle license described in subsection (b) of this section, must be reviewed by the chief of police or his or her designee, who must notify the town clerk before issuance.

(d) The police chief, by special order, may restrict licensees from any area of town during any times if he deems it necessary for the public safety and welfare.
