In addition to the fee specified in Section 15.28.010, any person who seeks a permit to move a building or other oversized object within the City shall first furnish the City with a certificate of insurance in the amount of $100,000/$300,000 for public liability, automobile bodily injury liability, property damage liability, nonautomobile and automobile property damage liability. A cash bond or other surety, in the amount of at least one thousand dollars, may be submitted instead of a certificate of insurance if the Director of Public Works approves. After the completion of the movement of the building or other oversized object, the City shall inspect the route taken in the moving of the building or object and shall ascertain the damage, if any, to all streets, trees, buildings, overhanging wires and any and all property of any nature whatsoever with the City and shall present to the permittee a claim in the amount necessary to repair such damage, if any. Thereupon, the permittee shall cause such claim to be paid.
(Prior code § 20.63)
Before the City Manager issues any permit for the moving of
any building over, along or across any street or other public place
in the City, he or she shall first require the owner of the building
to furnish him or her with a certificate from the City Engineer certifying
that the building is of sufficiently sound construction and condition
that the same may be moved without endangering persons or property.
Before issuing such a certificate, the City Engineer may make such
physical and mechanical inspection of the building as he or she deems
necessary to ascertain the physical condition thereof.
(Prior code § 20.64)
No building shall be moved into a residential district as the
same is defined by the zoning ordinance of the City, unless the same
complies with all requirements of the building, plumbing and electrical
codes for new construction in such district.
(Prior code § 20.65)
If the building to be moved does not comply with the requirements
of the building, plumbing and electrical codes for new construction,
it may nevertheless be moved; provided, that the owner thereof shall
file with the building inspector plans and specifications and a detailed
breakdown of costs for remodeling the building to conform to the requirements
of such codes and at the same time files with the City Clerk a good
and sufficient surety bond conditioned upon the completion of the
remodeling in accordance with such plans and specifications, which
bond shall be not less than one hundred twenty percent of the cost
of such remodeling as shown by the detailed cost breakdown.
(Prior code § 20.66)
