For the purpose of this chapter, the following
terms shall have the meanings indicated:
A detached building designed for and to be occupied exclusively
for family living either full or part time.
Any building moved into or from one location
to another within the Town must first be approved by the Town Board.
Application must be made to the Board with sufficient time allowed
for inspection by the local Assessor, who shall then place a market
value on any building which is to be considered a dwelling. The appraisal
fee shall be paid by the applicant.
[Amended 5-12-2010]
No building shall be moved into, through or
out of the Town on a Town road without a permit obtained from the
Town Clerk. The moving of a building shall be continuous during all
hours of the day, day by day and at night if the permit so directs
until completed, with the least possible obstruction to thoroughfares.
No building shall be allowed to remain overnight upon any street crossing
or intersection. Lighted lanterns shall be kept in conspicuous places
at each end of the building during darkness. Every permit to move
a building shall state all conditions to be complied with, designate
the route to be taken and limit the time for moving.
Upon approval of the dwelling, it shall be placed
on a permanent enclosed foundation constructed of poured concrete,
cement or cinder blocks with vents and access for maintenance. Such
dwelling shall be placed on a permanent foundation within 30 days
of approval. Any building moved within the Town which is to be used
for business purposes shall be of fireproof construction. This section
is in addition to any applicable sections of the County Zoning Ordinance.
Any person receiving a permit to move a building
into, within, through or out of the Town shall within one day after
such building reaches its destination or leaves the Town limits report
that fact to the Town Clerk. Upon receipt of any such report the Clerk
or his designee shall inspect the streets over which such building
has been moved and ascertain their condition. If the moving of such
building has caused any damage to the streets the house mover shall
forthwith place them in as good repair as they were before the permit
was granted. Upon failure of the mover to do so within 10 days thereafter
to the satisfaction of the Town Board, the Board shall cause the repair
of such damage to such streets and hold the permittee and the sureties
on his bond responsible for the cost.
[Amended 5-12-2010]
In the moving of a building out of or through
the Town, the provisions of this chapter relating to a type of construction
may be omitted. Before a permit is issued to move any building over
a public way, the applicant or mover shall provide proof of liability
insurance of no less than $1,000,000 each occurrence, $1,000,000 personal
and advertising injury, and $1,000,000 property damage.
[Amended 5-12-2010]
All buildings so moved into, within or through
the Town on Town roads shall be consistent with current zoning regulations.
Except as otherwise provided, any person who violates any provision of this chapter shall be subject to a penalty as provided in § 1-4 of this Code.
