Subd. 1. Residential Structures. Residential structures may be moved into, within, or out of the city limits, provided that any relocated residential buildings comply with all ordinances of the city, including ordinances relating to architectural design and materials.
Subd. 2. Process.
1. Prior to a structure being moved into, within, or out of the city limits, the owner shall obtain a building permit and said permit shall be filed with the city in conjunction with a performance security in an amount to be determined annually by the City Council.
2. Structures in transit may be transported through the city, provided that required permits are obtained prior to transportation of the residential building or structure through the city. Residential buildings or structures shall be moved between the hours of 1:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m., and the route shall be approved by the City Engineer and Chief of Police.
Subd. 3. Performance Standards.
1. Upon relocation, the structure shall comply with the applicable requirements of the State Building Code and this chapter.
2. A certificate of occupancy must be obtained from the city within 16 weeks of the date a residential structure is moved into or within the city limits; provided, however, that the City Building Official may extend the 16-week period if compliance with said requirement would result in unnecessary hardship and such hardship is the result if inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances. If a certificate of occupancy is not obtained within 16 weeks, or by the end of any extended period, the city, in its sole discretion, may draw down on the performance security and take whatever steps it may deem necessary to bring said relocated residential building into compliance with all ordinances of the city. In the event the city draws on the performance standards in order to bring a relocated residential building into compliance, a percentage of the total security shall be paid to the city as its administrative fee.
3. The site of any residential building or other structure that is moved out of the city limits must be backfilled to match existing grades with suitable materials. The site shall be planted and reclaimed simultaneously with the move of the structure. If the site is not backfilled, planted, and reclaimed within one week of the date a residential building or other structure is moved out of the city limits, the city, in its sole discretion, may draw down on the letter of credit in order to backfill, plant, and reclaim the site. In the event the city draws on the performance security in order to backfill, plant and/or reclaim a site, a percentage of the total security shall be paid to the city as its administrative fee.
Subd. 4. Performance Security. A performance security shall be provided to the city as specified in subsection 1006.06
