(B) Temporary permits. Upon application in writing from the owner or agent, permission may be granted by a two-thirds vote of the elected members of the Council for a temporary removal of a combustible building to a location in the street or other place within the fire zone as the Council shall specify, when the owner of the building desires immediately to construct on its former site a building of noncombustible material and shall immediately after the completion of the noncombustible building, move the combustible building outside the fire zone.
(1) Bond. Before any permit shall be issued, the owner or agent desiring the same shall furnish the city with a good and sufficient bond conditioned to save the city harmless from any liability occasioned by the removal.
(2) Penalty. There shall be imposed a penalty as set by City Council resolution for each and every day the combustible building remains on its temporary site after substantial completion of the noncombustible building.
