The department may require a waiting period of twenty-one days before any decision is made on any request for the removal of a retail or wholesale permit business.

(a) Any permittee who desires to move his permit business from the present location to another shall make application on forms prescribed by the department and, in addition, shall publish this request, on forms which shall be provided, in a newspaper having circulation in the town in which such business is located, once a week for two successive weeks, the first publication to be not more than seven days after the receipt of the placard. The applicant shall affix, not later than the day following its receipt, a placard, provided by the department, upon the outer door of the building wherein such place of business is to be located, clearly readable from the public highway, and shall maintain the same in legible condition. Whenever an application is filed for a building which has not been constructed, or if the outer door of the proposed premises is more than twenty-five feet from the public sidewalk or the edge of the highway, the applicant shall, not later than the day following the date of receipt of the placard, cause to be erected on the proposed location a sign, at least six feet by four feet in size. The placard shall be attached to such sign. Such sign shall consist of black letters of a minimum height of four inches on a white background. It shall be placed in close proximity to the street or highway with a clear and unobstructed visibility to the passing public, and shall be maintained on the premises for twenty-one days. The attached placard shall be protected from the weather.

(b) Confirmation shall be made to the department of compliance with the foregoing requirements, on forms prescribed by the department.
