The provisions of this chapter apply to the use of the street
by a vehicle or load, or to any combination.
(Prior code § 7107.01)
The city engineer is authorized to issue or withhold the permit,
at his or her discretion; or, if the permit is issued, to limit the
number of trips, or to establish seasonal or other time limitations
within which the vehicle or vehicles described may be operated on
the streets indicated, or otherwise to limit or prescribe conditions
of operation of the vehicle, when necessary to assure against undue
interference with traffic or damage to the road foundations, surface
or structures, and may require the undertaking of other security measures
as may be deemed necessary to protect the streets and bridges from
injury, or to provide indemnity for any injury resulting from the
operation of the vehicle.
(Prior code § 7107.07)
In all cases where this code requires the owner of any premises
to which it is proposed to move any building or structure to obtain
a relocation permit, the city engineer shall not grant a permit to
move such building or structure until the applicant furnishes to the
city engineer evidence that such owner has such relocation permit.
(Prior code § 7107.03)
The city engineer shall not issue a permit to move any load
when the weight of the load, plus the weight of the vehicle or other
equipment, exceeds the weight permitted by the Vehicle Code; except
that, if it appears to the city engineer that the size, shape or physical
characteristics of the load or portion thereof to be moved make it
impossible or impracticable to keep within such weight limits, the
city engineer may issue a permit to move a load on a vehicle every
wheel of which is equipped with pneumatic tires, where the city engineer
has determined that such movement will not cause injury to the streets,
bridges, and appurtenances installed therein or thereunder.
(Prior code § 7107.04)
When so required by the city engineer, a moving contractor shall
place under each dolly or wheel used in moving a building or structure,
or under each wheel of a vehicle, boards or planks of adequate width
and strength to carry the load without being broken, to serve as a
runway for such dolly or wheel during such moving along or across
any portion of any street which has a surface other than natural soil.
The moving contractor shall prevent such dolly or wheel from ever
revolving on or resting on such surface except upon such board, plank
or runway.
(Prior code § 7107.02)
If a building or structure is moved in more than one section,
and more than one of such sections is moved at the same time, the
moving contractor shall affix and maintain at all times, in conspicuous
places on each section on which the original permit is not affixed,
true copies of such permit.
(Prior code § 7107.05)
Any person lawfully operating or maintaining overhead facilities
across any highway in the city who desires information pertaining
to any moving permits issued for the moving of a building of eighteen
feet or more in height shall file a written request with the city
engineer. The city engineer shall not allow the moving of a building
for a period of forty-eight hours after the filing of a permit application
in order to allow such person time to inspect the route the permittee
intends to take. In the event the permittee needs to make any change
in the route set forth on the permit, the permit shall be void until
the moving contractor has obtained an approved change in the route.
(Prior code § 7107.08)
The city engineer may require that the moving of any load or
vehicle be under the supervision of an inspector to be appointed by
the city engineer.
(Prior code § 7107.06)
