It shall be unlawful for any person to drink any alcoholic beverage on the streets, parks or other public property within the town, except that upon receipt of a separate petition for each occasion of use, the mayor and town council may, at their discretion, through the town administrator, and not in conflict with the ordinances of Prince George's County, authorize the serving and consumption of alcoholic beverages within the confines of the Cheverly Community Center Building and town parks.

(b)

Requests for exceptions to this will be directed to the town administrator. The town administrator may issue permits for service of alcoholic beverages on public property, in accordance with regulations approved by the mayor and council.

The mayor and council will consider the appeal at their next public meeting which follows, by at least five (5) days, receipt of the appeal.
