(a) 
Application.
Every person shall, before engaging in moving a building or structure into, out of, or within the city, obtain a permit therefor, for which he shall make application to the city secretary. Each application shall be presented to the city council. The permit is only valid when approved by the city council. Such application shall reasonably describe and identify the building or structure sought to be moved, with the extreme dimensions of its width, length and height, its present location and the place to which it is proposed to be moved, and shall definitely identify and describe the route sought to be taken and the day and the hours such building or structure is to be moved. Such application shall also describe and identify the proposed use of the structure once it is placed within the city.
(b) 
Permit fee.
Each application for a permit under this section shall be accompanied by payment of a fee in an amount to be determined by resolution of the city council and maintained in the schedule of fees. If any person fails to obtain a permit required by this section prior to moving a structure as described herein, the permit fee will be doubled.
(c) 
Mover to notify utility companies.
Before such a permit is granted, the mover shall notify all public utility companies, railroads and other persons whose property or facilities are involved in such movements.

Expiration.
Any permit issued pursuant to this section shall expire by its own terms 60 days after its issuance.

(1) 
Obtain any and all necessary permits from the city to bring the building or structure into compliance with all applicable state or local building regulations;
(2) 
Connect to public water and sewer utilities, if a main or lateral sewer line of the public sewer and water systems is laid and maintained within 175 feet of the tract whereon such building or structure is located; provided, however, that connection to public water and sewer facilities shall not be required for a structure being used only for storage purposes; and
