(a) Any person desiring to move any building within the village shall first obtain a permit after application thereof, presented to the building commissioner, upon a form to be used for such purpose.
(b) Before such permit shall be granted to any person, the application therefor shall designate or describe the building proposed to be moved, where located, the place to which it is proposed to be moved, the route to be taken and the time probably required for such moving. In addition to the signing of such application, the applicant shall furnish to the building commissioner the written consent of the owners or their duly authorized agent, of the majority of the frontage on both sides of the street where it is proposed to locate such building, lying between the nearest intersecting streets. If, upon consideration of such application and such inspection as the building commissioner may deem necessary, it shall appear to the building commissioner that the work proposed to be done is in accordance with the provisions of this code, the building commissioner, upon the payment to the village of the fees and bond hereinafter provided for, may grant the permit sought for such purpose. Before the issuance of such permit, such applicant shall pay to the village a sum of money in payment for the occupancy of the street or streets through which the building is proposed to be moved, such sum to be determined by estimating the number of days which will be required to move the building, on the assumption that the building will be moved five hundred feet (500') per day, at the rate set forth in section 13-1 of this code per day. There shall also be furnished in addition to the sum herein provided for, a bond in the sum set forth in section 13-1 of this code, with good and sufficient sureties to be approved by the president, conditioned, among other things, that the party will pay any and all damage that may occur to any public street, alley or public place over which the building may be moved, and to reimburse the village and any public utility company for the cost of removing and replacing all overhead wires, cables and appurtenances and for the making of the necessary repairs thereto.
(c) No permit to move any building within the village shall be granted unless the construction and proposed use of such building on the proposed new site shall conform to the requirements of this chapter and of the zoning regulations of this code.
