[Adopted 6-30-1994 as
Title 4, Ch. 3, Sec. 4-3-12, of the 1994 Code]
Before any building is moved within or into the Village, a permit
must first be obtained from the Village Clerk/Treasurer. Before a
permit to move any building is granted by said Village Clerk/Treasurer,
the party applying therefor shall give a bond in the sum of $5,000
with good and sufficient sureties to be approved by the Village Attorney
conditioned among other things, that said party will save and indemnify
judgments, costs and expenses which may in any way accrue against
the Village and will save the Village harmless against all liabilities,
judgments, costs and expenses in consequence of granting of such permit.
The fee for such permit shall be $25 and shall accompany the
application.
Every permit to move a building shall state all conditions to
be complied with, designate the route to be taken and limit of time
for removal. The removal of a building shall be continuous during
all hours of the day, and day by day, and at night, if the Village
Clerk/Treasurer shall so order, until completed, with the least possible
obstructions to thoroughfares. Flashing amber lights shall be kept
in conspicuous places at each end of the building during the night.
Every person receiving a permit to move a building shall, within
one day after reaching its destination, report that fact to the Village
Clerk/Treasurer. Said Village Clerk/Treasurer shall thereupon inspect
the streets and highways over which said building has been moved and
ascertain their condition. If the removal of said building has caused
any damage to the streets or highways, the house mover shall forthwith
place them in as good repair as they were before the permit was granted.
Upon failure of the house mover to do so within 10 days thereafter
to the satisfaction of the Village Clerk/Treasurer, the Village shall
repair the damage done to such streets and highways and hold the sureties
of the bond given by the house mover responsible for the payment of
the same.
