A person, firm, or corporation seeking issuance of a permit hereunder, shall first file an application for that permit with the Administrator. The Administrator, upon receipt of this application, shall conduct an investigation and if in compliance with this chapter, shall issue the permit within seven days thereafter.
(a) Form. The application for the moving of a building within, through, or from the Village shall be made on forms provided by the Administrator, and shall be filed in the office of the Administrator.
(b) Contents. The application shall set forth:
(1) A description of the building proposed to be moved, giving street number, construction materials, exterior dimensions and heights, number of rooms, condition of exterior and interior, and sufficient structural information so that the Administrator may determine that the building, when moved, will comply with the Zoning Ordinance;
(2) A description of the lot from which the building is to be moved, if located in the Municipality;
(3) A description of the lot, if located within the corporation limits of the Municipality, to which it is proposed the building be removed, giving lot and street address;
(4) A plot plan showing the proposed location of the building when moved, if the building is to be removed within the corporate limits of the Municipality.
(5) The highways, streets, and alleys over, along, or across which the building is proposed to be moved;
(6) Proposed moving date and hours;
(7) Photographs of all four elevations of the building;
(8) Any additional information which the Administrator shall find necessary for a thorough inspection of the building and a fair determination of whether a permit should be issued.
(c) Accompanying Papers.
(1) Tax certificate. The owner of the building to be moved, if the building prior to moving, is located within the Municipality, shall file with the application sufficient evidence that the building and lot from which it is to be removed are free of encumbrances and that all current taxes and any Municipal current charges or assessments against the same are paid in full.
(2) Certificate of ownership or entitlement. The applicant, if other than the owner, shall file with the application a written statement or bill of sale signed by the owner, or other sufficient evidence that he is entitled to move the building.
(3) Utility consents. Where utility companies supplying service to the Municipality will be affected, the applicant shall file with his application suitable letters of clearance of those utility companies consenting to the removal. It is determined that the following utilities will be affected except when the removal is limited to a relocation on the same or an abutting lot and no portion of any Village street will be entered upon: Electric, telephone, gas, railroads, water, and sewer.
(d) Fees.
(1) The application shall be accompanied by an inspection fee in the amount of fifty dollars ($50.00). The applicant shall make arrangements to afford an adequate inspection when initially made. Should applicant fail to do this and thus necessitate additional inspections, the Village is authorized to require an additional fifty-dollar ($50.00) inspection fee for each such additional inspection necessary.
(2) The application shall also be accompanied by a permit fee in the amount of fifty dollars ($50.00).
(3) The permit issued and fees charged pursuant to this chapter shall not be considered as a permit or license to install or erect the structure moved, and any person moving a building shall obtain all permits and pay all applicable fees required by the Zoning Code for new construction to the same extent as if he were erecting a new building.
