No person shall move any building into or within the Village
without a permit from the Public Works Committee Chairperson upon
30 days' notice.
Application for a permit shall be made on a form provided by
the Village Clerk.
See the Village Fee Schedule on file in the office of the Village
Clerk.
Before a permit is issued, the mover must give a bond in the
amount of $10,000 with good and sufficient sureties to be approved
by the Village Attorney, conditioned that the mover shall save the
Village harmless from any liability arising out of the move and shall
restore any street damaged by the move. This provision may be waived
for small buildings.
Before a moving permit shall be issued, the applicant shall
submit to the Village Clerk a certificate of insurance evidencing
that the applicant has in force and will maintain during the term
of the permit public liability insurance of not less than $500,000
for any one person, $1,000,000 for any one accident and $50,000 for
property damage.
Prior to the issuance of said permit, the owner or mover shall
certify that he has notified all public utilities whose lines or poles
may be interfered with during the movement of the building. Such utilities
shall take whatever steps are necessary to permit the building to
be moved without damage to its lines and poles and may charge the
permittee the cost thereof.
Every permittee shall, within one day after reaching his destination,
report that fact to the Public Works Committee Chairperson. The Chairperson
shall thereupon inspect the streets and highways over which said building
has been moved and ascertain their condition. If the moving of said
building has caused any damage to the streets or highways, the house
mover shall forthwith place them in as good condition 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 Public
Works Committee, 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.
The penalty for violation of any provision of this chapter shall be a penalty as provided in §
1-3 of this Code. A separate offense shall be deemed committed on each day on which a violation of this chapter occurs or continues.
