No building or structure shall be drawn or moved over any highway or
bridge in the Village without a written permit from the Public Works Administrator
upon application therefor, as provided in the following section, but such
permit shall not authorize the use of any highway in the Village controlled
by the state, unless approved by, or a similar permit is issued by, a competent
authority of the state.
At the time of making the application specified in the preceding section,
the applicant shall file with the Public Works Administrator a bond with one
or more sureties approved by the Public Works Administrator, or a surety company
bond likewise approved, in a sum as set from time to time, conditioned to
indemnify and save harmless the Village from all damage to any highway or
surface thereof or to any bridge or to public or private property or to persons,
caused by the movement of such building or structure through or upon any highway
or bridge or by any unlawful or negligent act or omission of the permittee,
his agent or employees, in any way relating to or growing out of the moving
of such building or structure under such permit.
Upon receiving and filing the application and the zoning permit specified in §
74-2, the deposit and approval of the bond specified in the preceding section and a fee which shall be set from time to time by resolution of the Village Board of Trustees, the Public Works Administrator shall issue a permit for moving such building or structure, which permit shall recite that it is issued in conformity with and subject to the conditions of this section.
The Public Works Administrator may refuse to issue a permit referred
to in the preceding section if, in his judgment, operations thereunder would
result in material injury to any highway or bridge of the Village; or he may
restrict or qualify such permit as he may deem necessary to safeguard any
highway or bridge of the Village from damage or injury.
Nothing in the preceding section shall be construed as requiring the
Village to remove any obstructions along any street, nor to incur any expense
therefor. If the moving of such building or structure through any highway
is obstructed by any trees, the permittee shall apply to the Public Works
Administrator, who may grant such relief as in his judgment may be proper
and reasonable, and the permittee shall pay to the Village Clerk the reasonable
cost of any service rendered by him in removing any such obstructions.
In moving any building or structure through or upon any highway, the
same shall be supported on wheels or rollers or other device and in a manner
approved by the Public Works Administrator, to avoid damage or injury to the
surface of the highway. If it be necessary for such building or structure
to remain in the highway during the nighttime, it shall be protected by a
sufficient number of lighted red lanterns or flame torches from sundown until
daylight to assure the safety of public travel on such highway at night.
No vehicle, machine, machinery, tractor or other object exceeding in
weight and dimensions those limited by law, shall be operated or moved over
or upon any Village highway or bridge without a permit issued by the Public
Works Administrator, upon written application therefor and upon the payment
of a fee, which shall be set from time to time by resolution of the Village
Board of Trustees, for the use of the Village; such application shall contain
a description of the vehicle or object to be so operated or moved, its gross
weight and dimensions and shall state the highways upon or over which such
vehicle or object is to be operated or moved.
The Public Works Administrator may refuse to issue a permit specified
in the preceding section if, in his judgment, operations thereunder would
result in material injury to any highway or bridge of the Village, or he may
restrict or qualify such permit as he may deem necessary to safeguard any
highway or bridge of the Village from damage or injury.
Before the issuance of a permit under §
74-8, the applicant therefor shall file with the Public Works Administrator a bond approved by him in the sum required by §
74-3, conditioned to indemnify and save harmless the Village from all damage to any highway or surface thereof, bridge or to public or private property or to persons, caused by the operation or movement of such vehicle or other object upon any highway or bridge in the Village, and for any unlawful or negligent act or omission of the permittee, his agents or employees, in any way relating to or growing out of the moving of such vehicle or other object under such permit.
In moving any object specified in §
74-8, other than a vehicle on wheels, through or upon any highway or bridge, the same shall be supported on wheels or rollers or other device and in a manner approved by the Public Works Administrator to avoid damage or injury to the surface of the highway or to any bridge.
If it shall be necessary for the vehicle or object specified in §
74-8 to remain in the highway during the nighttime, it shall be protected by a sufficient number of lighted red lanterns or flame torches from sundown until daylight, to assure the safety of public travel on such highway at night.
Any violation of this chapter shall be punishable by a maximum fine
of $250 or by imprisonment for not more than 15 days, or by both such fine
and imprisonment.
