[R.O. 2008 §6-106; Ord. No. 335 §1, 8-27-1962; Ord. No. 973 §12, 11-1-1980; Ord. No. 1941 §1, 6-8-1998]
Any person, firm, company or corporation desiring to demolish,
wreck, raze, dismantle or otherwise destroy any structure or building
within the City shall obtain a permit from the Department of Community
Development authorizing the work to be performed, which permit shall
be valid for a period of sixty (60) days and no demolition, wrecking,
razing or dismantling shall take place unless such permit be valid.
A fee as specified in Appendix B to Title IV shall be paid to the
City for each such permit and each separate structure or building
shall require a permit. Such person, firm, company or corporation
shall be further required to post, for each such permit, a cash bond
or a bond, with sureties approved by the City Attorney, in an amount
not less than one thousand five hundred dollars ($1,500.00) or a greater
amount, as determined by the Director of Community Development, with
such amount sufficient to insure that all clearing, filling, backfilling
and removal of debris, returning the site elevations to the original
contour levels, seeding and/or sodding of bare dirt, stormwater and
siltation controls can be properly completed or installed. Complete
restoration of the site including the planting of grass seed or sodding
shall occur within ninety (90) days of the completion of the demolition
of the structure or building unless within such ninety (90) days a
building permit for the construction of a new structure or building
on the same site has been obtained from the Department of Community
Development and construction commenced. The Director of community
development may grant extensions to this time, not to exceed an additional
sixty (60) days, based on inclement weather or some other undue hardship
on the applicant, provided such hardship is not self-imposed. The
above required bond shall be held, without interest, and shall not
be released by the City until such restoration is complete or construction
of a replacement structure or building has commenced.
[R.O. 2008 §6-107; Ord. No. 335 §2, 8-27-1962; Ord. No. 973 §12, 11-1-1980]
No person shall move any structure or building from its present
location to any other location within the City unless a permit therefor
is first obtained from the City. The fee for such permit shall be
in an amount as specified in Appendix B to Title IV for each building
or structure to be moved. Such person, firm, company or corporation
shall further be required to post a bond in an amount as specified
in Appendix B to Title IV, in cash or with sureties approved by the
City Council, assuring the City that all rules, regulations and ordinances
shall be observed and all damage or injury to streets and property
as a result of such move shall be properly replaced and repaired.
No such removal of any structure or building shall be permitted unless
the City is notified at least seven (7) days in advance of the day
and time of such proposed move, so that all utilities that may be
affected may make proper arrangements.
