(A) Policy. It is the stated policy of the city to maintain a harmonious and high standard of development and to protect all areas from deleterious affects by insuring that both new and relocated structures from other areas, both from within the city and from outside, shall meet specified requirements. All relocated structures as stated above must conform to the State Building Code and shall be permitted in the zoning district where all necessary specifications as to lot size, set backs, type of use, height regulations and all other conditions as laid down in the Zoning Code are met.
(B) Relocation permit. All relocations of structures, either primary or accessory that are over one hundred forty-four (144) square feet, requiring the use of the public right-of-way, shall require a relocation permit and a building permit as required by the State Building Code.
(1) Application shall be made on forms provided by the city.
(2) An application fee and damage deposit as established in the city fee schedule shall be paid at the time of application. Exception: the application fee is waived for structures being moved out of town. However, a permit, damage deposit, and proper insurance are still required. Any building permit fees shall also be paid as required by the State Building Code.
(3) The applicant shall also agree to pay any city/utility expenses incurred, including, but not limited to: line drops, utility removals, sign removals, street repair and any other related expenses. A damage deposit as outlined in the city fee schedule shall be deposited with the city and shall be kept until fifteen (15) days after the complete relocation of the structure, or until such time that all expenses incurred by the city are reimbursed. In the case of high expenses, (as determined by the City Administrator) the city reserves the right to withhold a relocation permit until an “estimated cost” of city/utility expenses are paid up front.
(4) For primary structures, proof of liability insurance in the amount of three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000) and proof of property damage insurance in the amount of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) shall be provided to the city. For accessory structures, proof of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) liability insurance and ten thousand dollars ($10,000) property damage insurance must be submitted.
(5) All applicable zoning, building, health, and fire codes must be complied with.
(6) The applicant shall submit and have a “route of travel” approved by the city before relocation can begin. Information giving the actual “loaded height” of the structure shall be submitted to the city.
(7) All relocated structures shall have new roof covering (i.e. shingles, etc.) and new siding installed within three (3) months of the relocation. The City Council may grant an exemption to the requirement if the roof covering and/or siding is in “like-new” condition.
