What this form is
Sea Isle City uses this checklist for applications to operate sidewalk dining where alcohol service is allowed under Ordinance No. 1457. Applicants provide property and business details, a scaled layout, service and litter-control information, photos or diagrams, the application fee, insurance documentation, and a mercantile license number. The packet also requires a notarized indemnification agreement. Allow 14 days for review and processing; Cape May County approval or confirmation of no interest is required if applicable.
Who needs it
A sidewalk dining permit applicant—such as a business operator—must submit this checklist and supporting materials, including the notarized agreement, to Sea Isle City.
Why it needs a notary
The agreement has an applicant signature and date, plus a witness line for the notary’s signature and seal; the applicant signs the agreement before the notary.
