It shall be unlawful for any person, firm, or corporation to
move any building or structure within the Municipality without a written
permit to do so. Application may be made to the Municipal Clerk, and
shall include a fee of $25, the present and future location of the
building to be moved, the proposed route, the equipment to be used,
and such other information as the Building Inspector may require.
The application shall be accompanied by a certificate issued by the
County Treasurer to the effect that all the provisions regulating
the moving of buildings have been complied with on the part of the
owner of the real estate upon which the said building is presently
located. The Municipal Clerk shall refer the said application to the
Municipal Police for approval of the proposed route over which the
said building is to be moved. Upon approval of the Governing Body,
the Municipal Clerk shall then issue the said permit; Provided, that
a good and sufficient corporate surety bond, check, or cash in an
amount set by motion of the Governing Body and conditioned upon moving
said building without doing damage to any private or Municipal property
is filed with the Municipal Clerk prior to the granting of any permit.
In the event it will be necessary for any licensed building mover
to interfere with the telephone or telegraph poles and wires, or a
gas line, the company or companies owning, using, or operating the
said poles, wires or line shall upon proper notice of at least 24
hours, be present and assist by disconnecting the said poles, wires,
or line relative to the building moving operation. All expense of
the said disconnection, removal, or related work shall be paid in
advance by the licensee unless such disconnection or work is furnished
on different terms as provided in the said company's franchise. Whenever
the moving of any building necessitates interference with a water
main, sewer main, pipes, or wire belonging to the Municipality, notice
in writing of the time and route of the said building moving operation
shall be given to the various Municipal officials in charge of the
Municipal utility departments who shall proceed in behalf of the Municipality
and at the expense of the mover to make such disconnections and do
such work as is necessary. (Ref. 16-210, 77-1725 RS Neb.)
At such time as the building moving has been completed, the
Building Inspector shall inspect the premises and report to the Municipal
Clerk as to the extent of damages, if any, resulting from the said
relocation and whether any Municipal laws have been violated during
the said operation. Upon a satisfactory report from the Building Inspector,
the Municipal Clerk shall return the corporate surety bond, cash,
or check deposited by the applicant. In the event the basement, foundation,
or portion thereof is not properly filled, covered, or in a clean
and sanitary condition, the Governing Body may apply the money deposited
for the purpose of defraying the expense of correcting the said conditions.
If the expense of correcting the hazardous condition is greater than
the amount of the deposit set by resolution of the Governing Body,
as required herein, the Governing Body may recover such excess expense
by civil suit or otherwise as prescribed by law. (Ref. 16-210 RS Neb.)
