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