Temporary Outdoor Dining Permit process to be in effect until September 7, 2020, which was later extended
to November 7, 2020 via resolution passed on August 10, 2020. Please be advised that the Township Council
on October 10, 2020 has approved a resolution to temporarily suspend the application of §320-4 M (Outdoor

seating capacity of eight persons” ) and §320-5 B (The annual fee for an outdoor seating permit of $95 shall be
submitted with the application) of the Township Code as it relates to outdoor dining until such time as Council
