A.
Authorization by Board. No person shall move a building
or other structure upon or across any street of the village unless a permit
therefor has been issued by the Village Clerk upon authorization by the Board
of Trustees.
B.
Application form. As a prerequisite to securing a permit,
an application must be filed with the Village Clerk containing:
A.
Insurance. Each application shall be accompanied by a
certificate of insurance, in form approved by the Village Counsel and issued
by an insurance company authorized to do business in this state, running to
the village and guaranteeing that the applicant has provided public liability
coverage of not less than $100,000/$300,000 and property damage insurance
in the amount of not less than $50,000/$100,000 to save the village harmless
from all claims, actions and proceedings brought by any person for injury
to person or property resulting from or occasioned by any fault or default
by the person to whom the permit is issued or anyone acting thereunder on
his behalf. The policy shall also protect the village, in the sum of $2,000,
against any damages caused to any street or other public property by reason
of such house moving.
B.
Completion bond. In addition, every applicant shall post
a ninety-day completion bond assuring the reerection, modification, alteration
or other work to be done upon the building in conformity with the plans approved
by the Superintendent of Buildings.
[Amended 2-26-1990 by L.L. No. 11-1990]
The Board of Trustees by resolution shall adopt and from time to time
may amend a schedule of fees payable by an applicant for a permit to move
a building or other structure upon or across any street of the village.
If, to the Board, the moving of the structure seems likely to cause
injury to property, trees, electric wires or otherwise cause hardship or inconvenience
or seem to be not conducive to public safety or welfare, such permit may be
refused, the deposited fees returned and the bonds canceled.
