[HISTORY: Adopted by the City Council of the City of Englewood 10-5-1978 by Ord. No.
2335 as §§ 9-24 to 9-29 of the 1978
Revised General Ordinances. Amendments noted where applicable.]
No person shall move any building or structure through any street
of the City without first obtaining a permit as hereinafter provided.
A.
Any person desiring to move any building or structure shall make
application to the City Engineer 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 City Engineer may require.
B.
The applicant shall also file with the City Engineer a bond in the
amount of $2,500 with sureties satisfactory to the City Engineer and
conditioned for the payment of the cost of repairing any streets or
other property damaged by such moving, and the cost of repairing or
replacing any trees damaged or destroyed by such moving, and the payment
of any additional fees due the City for exceeding the time limit fixed
for such moving, as hereinafter prescribed.
The City Engineer shall investigate the application. If the
building can be moved without injuring or destroying the shade trees
along the said streets, or without doing other irreparable damage
or injury, and the applicant has otherwise complied with the terms
and conditions set forth in this chapter, the City Engineer shall
issue a permit.
The fee for such permit shall be $25 for each day of the period
required for such moving, as determined by the City Engineer. If the
moving is not completed within the period fixed by the City Engineer,
then the person holding the permit shall pay an additional sum of
$50 per day for each day in excess of the time limit so fixed.
The person receiving such permit shall, at his own expense,
arrange for the removal and subsequent replacement of any wires or
cables which may interfere with said moving. If any wires or cables
which may interfere with the moving pertain to the fire alarm system
or police telephone system or any other municipal system of the City,
then the person receiving such permit shall, at his own expense, arrange
that the removal of the wires or cables will not interfere in any
manner with the continual operation of such system.
Any person who violates any provision of this chapter shall,
upon conviction thereof, be punished by a fine not exceeding $500
or by imprisonment for a term not exceeding 90 days, or both. A separate
offense shall be deemed committed on each day during or on which a
violation occurs or continues.
