[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. V)]
No person shall move any building into or within the Town without
applying for a permit from the Building Inspector.
Application for a permit shall be made on a form provided by
the Town Clerk.
[Amended by Ord. No. 7-04]
For any building that is moved by use of heavy moving trucks
or rollers, there shall be a fee which is included in the Town Fee
Schedule on file in the office of the Town 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 Town Attorney conditioned that the mover shall save the Town
harmless from any liability arising out of the move and shall restore
any highway 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 Building Inspector 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 they have notified 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 their destination,
report that fact to the Town Highway Superintendent. The Superintendent
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 Superintendent,
the Town 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.
