(A) No person shall move any building on, along, or across, or obstruct or excavate in, any boulevard, road, or parkway in zone D unless a permit in writing therefor shall have been procured from the city, based upon a written application setting forth the dimensions of the building to be moved and its contemplated route or the location or nature and specifications of the proposed excavations or obstructions, and upon depositing with the city a sum of money as the city shall estimate will cover all damages to the roadway, trees, shrubs, grass, lampposts, and other property and improvements upon that boulevard, road, or parkway or upon filing an appropriate bond to guarantee complete restoration as requested by the city.
(B) After the work shall have been completed, the boulevard, road, parkway, grass, trees, shrubs, lampposts, and other property and improvements shall be immediately restored to their former condition by the holder of the permit to the satisfaction of the city or by the city, as the city may elect. If restoration is made without expense to the city, and to its satisfaction, the sum deposited shall be refunded; but if any of the work is done by it, the city shall certify the actual expense incurred and shall refund to the holder of the permit the difference, if any, between the amount deposited and the amount so certified by the city. In the event the amount so certified is in excess of the amount deposited, the holder of the permit shall immediately pay the excess amount to the city.
