Each application shall be accompanied by a certificate of insurance in form approved by the Village Counsel and issued by an insurance company authorized to do business in this state, running to the Village, guaranteeing that the applicant has provided public liability coverage of not less than $100,000/$300,000, and property damage insurance in the amount of not less than $50,000/$100,000, to save the Village harmless from all claims, actions and proceedings brought by any person for injury to person or property resulting from or occasioned by any fault or default by the person to whom the permit is issued or anyone acting thereunder on his behalf. The policy shall also protect the Village, in the sum of $10,000, against any damages caused to any street trees or other public property by reason of such house moving. In addition, every applicant shall post a ninety-day completion bond assuring the reerection, modification, alteration or other work to be done upon the building in conformity with the plans approved by the Chief Engineer or his deputy.
[Amended 12-4-1972]
The fee for any license required by the provisions of this chapter shall be at the levels fixed from time to time by resolution of the Board of Trustees of the Village of Rockville Centre.
If, to the Board, the moving of the structure seems likely to cause injury to property, trees, electric wires, or otherwise cause hardship, inconvenience, or seems to be not conducive to public safety or welfare, such permit may be refused, the deposit fees returned and the bonds canceled.
