A. Permit Required: No person shall move from its foundation, remove or demolish any building or structure in the city, or cause the same to be done without first obtaining a permit therefor. This provision shall apply to any demolition to the interior or exterior of any portion of any structure.
B. Application: To obtain a permit, the applicant shall first file an application therefor in writing on a form furnished for that purpose by the city clerk. Every such application shall identify and describe the work to be covered by the permit. The applicant shall describe the land on which the proposed work is to be done, by lot, block, tract and house and street address or similar description that will readily identify and definitely locate the proposed building or structure. The applicant shall indicate what if any hazardous substances, may be present in the building or structure. The application shall be signed by the owner of the real property upon which the building or structure is located. The applicant shall give such other information as reasonably may be required by the city clerk.
C. Hazardous Substances: If any hazardous substances may be present in the building or structure to be moved, removed or demolished or in any facilities that may be affected by the removal or demolition of the building or structure, the applicant shall provide a detailed description of the plan for the proper removal, containment and disposal of the hazardous substance. The applicant shall also provide proof that all agencies with jurisdiction over hazardous materials have been informed of the proposed removal or demolition of the building or structure and have approved the plan for the removal, containment and disposal of the hazardous substance.
D. Inspections: Before the building is moved, removed or any portion thereof is demolished, the building inspector shall inspect the building or structure. An inspection for interior demolition shall only be required when walls or supporting posts are being removed. The building inspector may, at his discretion, also inspect the building or structure during or after the moving, removal or demolition. (Ord. 184, 9-16-2002)
E. Fees: There shall be charged a fee for the inspection and any additional applicable fees as set by resolution of the city council. The foregoing fees shall be paid to the city clerk in advance of the inspection. (Ord. 262, 7-16-2013)
F. Time Limits: The permit for moving, removal or demolition of a building or structure shall be effective for six (6) months from the date that it is issued by the city clerk. If the removal or demolition is not complete within six (6) months from the date that the permit is issued, a new permit must be granted based upon a new application and the payment of the required fees.
