From the effective date of the ordinance from which this article is derived, no building of any kind shall be moved from one point in the Township to another or from any point outside the Township to a location in the Township, or from a location in the Township to a point outside the Township by any person, firm, entity, or corporation unless a permit has been issued by the Building Inspector of the Township upon proper application.
An application shall contain a complete description of the building to be moved, its location, and the legal description and street address of the property to which it is to be moved, together with the street address of the property from which the building is being moved, and any other data which the Township Building Inspector deems to be appropriate for the purpose of protecting the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of the Township, as well as providing for proper and safe use of the roads of the Township, and achieving the purpose of ensuring that buildings erected or moved within the Township comply with all codes, rules, laws and regulations of the Township regarding buildings, health and safety requirements as well as such other laws and regulations of the county, state, or federal governments as may apply.
Upon receipt of an application, the Building Inspector shall forthwith make examination of the property to which the building is to be moved, including the exact site to which it is to be moved, and shall cause such exhibits, pictures or other data to be deposited with him for the purpose of making a determination that the permit shall be issued.
No permits shall be issued under this article unless the building, after it has been moved to the proposed site, shall be in compliance with the provisions of the building code, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, and energy codes, as well as the zoning ordinances and any other applicable ordinance of the Township, together with any rules, regulations, ordinances, or statutes of the county, state, or the United States. The Building Inspector may require the applicant to submit such plans, specifications or other material which will ensure compliance with this requirement. In addition, the Building Inspector may require the applicant to obtain the requisite permits under the said codes for the purpose of erecting or altering or in other ways reconstructing or setting the building on the proposed site.
The permit to be issued shall be conditioned upon the commitment of the applicant to obtain a certificate of occupancy before occupying or using the building, and complying in every respect with the codes, laws, and regulations referenced in § 126-4.
In connection with said application, the applicant shall file a performance bond or completion bond in at least the penal sum of $5,000, conditioned upon the completion of the building after the move to its new location according to the said codes referenced in § 126-4, and in accordance with the specifications and requirements submitted by the applicant. In the event of the failure of the applicant to complete the said building within the time specified in the permit, the said bond shall be forfeited to the Township.
