(a) Moving buildings and other structures:
(1) When moving any building or other structure for which a permit fee is charged herein into or through the City, which movement requires passage over a highway, street, avenue, alley, sidewalk or public ground open to the use of the public, the mover or his agent shall deposit with the Director of Public Service cash money in an amount to be fixed by the Director, which deposit shall be sufficient to cover all costs incurred by the City in connection with the proposed move, including but not limited to, the costs of raising wires, the services of police, fire, building and service personnel calculated at hourly rates, reimbursement to the City for the cost per mile of the City’s vehicles used by the employees and officials of the City in supervising the move, and inspecting the building or other structure after the relocation. Any unexpended portion of this deposit shall be returned to the mover by the Director upon the completion of the moving of the building or other structure and inspection and approval of the relocated building or other structure. The mover shall further deposit with the Director of Public Service a fully paid policy of insurance naming the City as the insured party in an amount and form satisfactory to the Director of Law, which insurance contract shall serve to fully indemnify and save harmless the City from any liability incurred in connection with or arising out of the moving of the building or other structure.
(2) Prior to executing the moving of a building or structure, the owner shall cause notice of such move to be provided to all real property owners located within 1,000 feet of the proposed relocation site.
Such notice shall be mailed not less than thirty days prior to the move and an affidavit setting forth the fact of such service shall be filed with the Director of Public Service and/or the Chief Building Official, not less than fifteen days prior to the move.
Provision of notice is deemed a material condition precedent to the authorization to move and any permit issued conditioned upon such notice shall automatically be repealed and revoked in the event the required affidavit is not timely filed.
(b) Absent written assurances signed by the applicant prior to receipt of his or its approval, the recipient of a conditional zoning certificate shall post a cash or surety bond prior to the issuance of a building permit to insure full compliance to the certificate pertaining to all types of construction, that is, new, addition, alterations, remodeling. The bond shall be in a form approved by the Law Director. The bond fee is based on the building structure valuation only and shall be as outlined in Section 965.03(5)(f).
The Chief Building Official shall have the responsibility to finalize the cost of construction. The bond shall be in effect until all final inspections are approved from the Building, Fire, and Engineering Departments.
