[HISTORY: Adopted by the Borough Council of the Borough of Alpine
as § 13-2 of the 1970 Revised General Ordinances. Amendments noted
where applicable.]
No person shall move any building or structure through any streets of
the borough without having obtained a permit.
Any person desiring to move any building or structure shall make application
to the Borough Clerk for a permit. The application shall designate the streets
through which the moving will be done, the dimensions of the building, the
estimated length of time required for such moving, and such other facts as
the Borough Clerk may require. The fee for the permit shall be deposited with
the Borough Clerk. The permit may be applied for by the owner of the building
or structure to be moved or by the mover or contractor.
The applicant shall file with the Borough Clerk a bond in such sum as
shall be reasonably required, 25% of which must be in cash and the balance
with sureties satisfactory to the Borough Attorney, conditioned for the payment
of any damage or injury to the trees, street or other borough property along
the designated route, and conditioned for the replacement of any trees or
other borough property destroyed by the moving; and also conditioned for the
payment of any additional fee due the borough for exceeding the time limit
fixed for such moving.
[Amended by Ord. No. 271]
The person receiving a permit shall, at his own expense, arrange for
the removal of any wires or cables which may interfere with the moving. If,
however, any such wires or cables pertain to the fire alarm system, police
telephone system or any other municipal system of the borough, then the person
receiving such permit shall, at his own expense, arrange so that the removal
of wires will not interfere in any manner with the continual operation of
such systems.
All moving operations as they relate to the problem of traffic shall
be done under the supervision of the Chief of Police and at such times as
may be fixed by the Chief of Police.
It shall be the duty and obligation of the contractor engaged in the
moving operations to furnish and place barricades and detour signs which may
be necessary for the proper diversion of motor vehicle traffic.
