the board, body or official to whom application for the license is made, shall give
notice by advertisement published once a week for at least two (2) weeks in some newspaper
published in the city or town where the applicant proposes to carry on business, or,
if there is no newspaper published in a city or town, then in some newspaper having
a general circulation in the city or town. Applications for retailer’s Class F, P
and Class G licenses need not be advertised. The advertisement shall contain the name
of the applicant and a description by street and number or other plain designation
of the particular location for which the license is requested. Notice of the application
shall also be given, by mail, to all owners of property within two hundred feet (200′)
of the place of business seeking the application. The notice shall be given by the
board, body or official to whom the application is made, and the cost of the application
shall be borne by the applicant. The notices shall state that remonstrants are entitled
to be heard before the granting of the license, and shall name the time and place
of the hearing. At the time and place a fair opportunity shall be granted the remonstrants
to make their objections before acting upon the application; provided that no advertisement
or notice need be given pursuant to this section when a license holder applies for
a temporary seasonal expansion of an existing liquor license.
