The notice shall be mounted upon heavy cardboard, wood or other substantial backing affixed to the post or stake so it is readily visible from the sidewalk or roadway.

 (d)  An application may be refused by the Board if notice is not posted as required.

Notes of Decisioins

   Duration of Posting

   The Liquor Control Board (Board) did not abuse its discretion in a new restaurant liquor license when the applicant failed to post its notice continuously from the date of application to the date of the Board’s decision, because the proposed premise was properly posted well in excess of 30 days from the initial posting date and for the majority of the time from the filing of the application to the Board’s decision; this 30-day period is most important because it is during this period that a petition to intervene or protest must be filed with the Board by parties concerned about the license application. In re Asprey, Inc., 693 A.2d 257 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1997); appeal denied 702 A.2d 1061 (Pa. 1997).
