(A) At least ten city business days before the actual move is to take place, the applicant must submit to the Community Development Director the following supplemental information:
(1) The proposed moving date and hours, which shall not include Sundays;
(2) A copy of the proposed building mover’s state license and an insurance certificate showing that the mover has current insurance coverage required by state law;
(3) A signed statement from the applicant or a contractor agreeing to fence or secure the foundation at the original building location, to fill the foundation cavity and to keep the area safe and clean;
(4) A signed statement from the applicant or a contractor agreeing to properly abandon any wells and fill any septic tanks if the original building location is in the city; and
(5) A signed statement from all overhead utilities indicating the utility company has been notified and agrees to move utilities to accommodate the moving of the building.
(B) A permit for a building move is void if the additional information required in division (A) above is not provided in a timely manner.
(C) In consultation with the Chief of Police and the Public Works Director, the Community Development Director may deny the proposed moving date and hours if the move at that time would unreasonably interfere with the public’s use of a street or highway or would otherwise adversely affect the public interest. The Director may also deny use of the proposed building mover if it does not have a current license or insurance as required by state law, or it has previously been unreliable or irresponsible in complying with city requirements. The Director must notify the applicant in writing of a denial at least five city business days before the proposed date, giving the reasons for denial. The applicant may file a written appeal of this decision with the City Administrator, to be heard by the City Council at its next available meeting, unless the applicant selects a later date.
