"Building," as used in this article, means and includes any
dwelling, barn, or other building which has been constructed or erected,
or any part of such building. Part of a building shall not be deemed
to apply to materials to be used in the construction of a building,
but only to some portion of a building which has already been erected,
and which is proposed to be moved without reducing such portion of
a building to the materials of which it was originally constructed.
[Res. No. 136-06, 12-26-2006]
The moving of any building or part of a building into, along,
or across any of the public streets or highways in the city without
having first procured a permit in the manner provided therefor in
this division is hereby prohibited.
[Res. No. 136-06, 12-26-2006]
(a)
Any person desiring to move any building or part of a building along
any street or highway in the city shall make written application for
a permit to the Code Enforcement Office, describing the building proposed
to be moved, whether the building is to be moved as a whole or in
separate parts, the location of the premises from which and of the
premises to which, and along and across what streets and highways
it is proposed to move the building. Such application shall be signed
and acknowledged and, if made by a partnership, shall specify the
name of the members thereof, and if a corporation, the name of the
state under the laws of which the corporation is organized.
(b)
The application shall be submitted together with a license application
fee to the city in the amount of $500, which shall be refundable if
authority to move the building shall be denied; otherwise, such fee
shall be nonrefundable.
[Res. No. 136-06, 12-26-2006]
The application for a permit under this division shall be accompanied
by acknowledgments from the electric light, telephone, or other public
utility companies maintaining wires, cables, or other structures necessary
for the maintenance of light, power, travel, and communication in
any street or highway, along or across which it is proposed to move
such building, that satisfactory and proper arrangements have been
made for the care of their wires, cables, or structures, in order
to expedite the passage of such building.
[Res. No. 136-06, 12-26-2006]
The application for a permit under this division shall be accompanied
by a bond with at least two sureties in the penal sum of at least
$250,000, or such other amount determined by the City Attorney dependent
upon the specific application. Such bond shall be conditioned to indemnify
and save harmless the city of and from any and all damages, loss,
costs, and expenses to which it may be put by reason of the moving
of such building and of, from, and against any injury or alleged injury
to persons or property on account of the moving of such building.
Such bond shall be approved as to form, manner of execution, and sufficiency
of the sureties by the City Attorney, and he may reject the bond and
require new or additional sureties or changes in the form or manner
of execution if, in his judgment, the sureties are not sufficient,
or such bond does not comply with the provisions of this division.

Prior to the issuance of a permit there shall be a meeting held
to include representatives from the city, utilities, applicant or
other interested persons or agency to developing a plan for the moving
of said building to ensure the requirements of this article and the
Uniform Code are met.
[Res. No. 136-06, 12-26-2006]
Upon the approval of the bond and other required items by this
division, the Code Enforcement Officer shall grant to the applicant
a permit to move such building or part of a building along the route
described in the application, or the Code Enforcement Officer may
change such route.
[Res. No. 136-06, 12-26-2006]

under this division, to move such building or part of a building along
or across any street or highway except those specified in such permit.
