A. Time Limit; Penalty For Extra Time Taken:
1. At the time of application for a permit, it is the duty of the mover of any building or structure to estimate the reasonable time required for the moving of the building from its present location to its proposed location and shall state in his application for permit what he deems to be such reasonable time.
2. The mover shall bind himself to pay a sum as set by the city per day for each and every day, all or any part of which, the building or structure remains on the street in excess of the number of days allowed in the permit, and his cash deposit in addition to his bond shall be made liable for the payment of the amount. Nothing but an act of God shall be a defense against the payment of the sums. (1985 Code § 5-608)
B. Days Restricted:
1. The clerk shall not issue any permit on any day which, according to the estimated number of days required to move the building or structure, shall, when counted from the date of the permit, include a Sunday or legal holiday; provided, that this shall apply where the permit includes and provides that the persons moving such house shall begin on the day of the permit.
2. When a day is set on which the person moving the building shall begin to move the same and the day is different from the date of issuing the permit, then no permit shall be issued in such a way to include a Sunday or holiday within the time allowed for moving the building.
