"For the purpose of the Alcoholic Beverage Ordinance, distance means the measurement in linear feet from the front entrance of the proposed location to the nearest property line of the private residence, church, nursing home, public library, hospital, school grounds, or college campus, along the nearest practical street route."
The land surveyor will begin the survey at the front entrance of the proposed location and travel the nearest practical street route. These instructions direct the surveyor to measure from the front door of the proposed business to the street as a vehicle would travel. Then, continue along the street in the most practical route to reach the property line of the residence, church,
Note that the distance is measured in a direct route of travel. This measurement is not to be confused with measuring in a direct radius distance. Many municipalities use the direct radius distance.
