Code of Ordinance › Chapter 8 — Referenced Standards › Article IV — MOVING BUILDINGS OR OTHER STRUCTURES

No structure of other obstruction to traffic shall be moved upon or across any street, alley or other public place without first obtaining a permit as required by this division. (Comp. Ords. 1987, § 18.006)

Applications for a permit to move a structure shall be made by a mover licensed as required by any applicable law, to the village clerk, approved as complying with all the provisions of this article or any other village ordinance applicable thereto. If the village clerk finds that under the facts the applicant has sufficient knowledge, experience, equipment and facilities to properly conduct such moving, the permit shall be issued forthwith upon payment of the prescribed permit fee. (Comp. Ords. 1987, § 18.007)

Before a permit for the moving of a structure shall be issued, the applicant shall notify all utilities having service connections within the building, such as water, electric, gas, sewer and other connections. The applicant shall not be entitled to a permit unless a release is obtained from the utilities stating that their respective service connections and appurtenant equipment such as meters have been removed or sealed and plugged in a safe manner; nor shall a permit be issued until the village clerk shall be satisfied, after receiving a written agreement from the public utility companies concerned and signed by the applicant, that the moving may be accomplished in such a manner as not to create a hazardous condition as a result of the proximity of such public utility installations at the site from which the building is to be moved, the site where it is to be moved or the route to be followed in making the movement, including an agreement for necessary moving or raising of overhead wires which might impede the progress of the movement of such structure.
