Part I
Buildings
|
No building or structure shall be drawn or moved
over any highway or bridge in the Town without a written permit from
the Director of Public Works upon application therefor, as provided
in the following section, but such permit shall not authorize the
use of any highway in the Town controlled by the state, unless approved
by, or a similar permit is issued by, a competent authority of the
state.
Every applicant to move any building or structure
over or upon any highway or bridge shall be made in writing, signed
by the applicant, upon a form prescribed by the Director of Public
Works and shall state:
A.
The name of the owner of the building and location
thereof.
B.
The names of persons who shall move the same.
C.
The highways or bridges, if any, over which the same
is to be moved.
D.
The location to which the same is to be moved.
E.
The dates and hours during which the same will be
moved.
F.
The length of time to be occupied in such moving.
G.
The dimensions thereof and the material of which such
building is constructed.
H.
Such other facts as the Director of Public Works may
require. A permit from the Planning and Zoning Commission or its agent
authorizing the placing of such buildings on its proposed new site
shall also be submitted to the Director of Public Works with such
application.
[Amended 2-24-59, effective 3-28-59]
At the time of making the application specified
in the preceding section, the applicant shall file with the Director
of Public Works a bond with one or more sureties approved by the Director
of Public Works or a surety company bond likewise approved in the
penal sum of $10,000, conditioned to indemnify and save harmless the
Town from all damage to any highway or surface thereof or to any bridge
or to public or private property or to persons caused by the movement
of such building or structure through or upon any highway or bridge
or by any unlawful or negligent act or omission of the permittee,
his agent or employees in any way relating to or growing out of the
moving of such building or structure under such permit.
[Amended 6-7-83, effective 9-1-83]
Upon receiving and filing the application and the zoning permit specified in § 54-51 of this Code, the deposit and approval of the bond specified in the preceding section and a fee of $10, the Director of Public Works shall issue a permit for moving such building or structure, which permit shall recite that it is issued in conformity with and subject to the conditions of this Article.
The Director of Public Works may refuse to issue
a permit referred to in the preceding sections if, in his judgment,
operations thereunder would result in material injury to any highway
or bridge of the town; or he may restrict or qualify such permit as
he may deem necessary to safeguard any highway or bridge of the Town
from damage or injury.
Nothing in the preceding section shall be construed
as requiring the Town to remove any obstructions along any highway,
nor to incur any expense therefor. If the moving of such building
or structure through any highway is obstructed by any trees, the permittee
shall apply to the Town Tree Warden who may grant such relief as in
his judgment may be proper and reasonable, and the permittee shall
pay to the Tree Warden the reasonable cost of any service rendered
by him in removing any such obstructions.
In moving any building or structure through
or upon any highway, the same shall be supported on wheels or rollers
or other device and in a manner approved by the Director of Public
Works, to avoid damage or injury to the surface of the highway. If
it is necessary for such building or structure to remain in the highway
during the nighttime, it shall be protected by a sufficient number
of lighted red lanterns or flame torches from sundown until daylight
to assure the safety of public travel on such highway at night.

|
[Amended 6-7-83, effective 9-1-83]
No vehicle, machine, machinery, tractor or other
object exceeding in weight and dimensions those limited by the provisions
of Section 1376d of the General Statutes of the state, as amended,
shall be operated or moved over or upon any Town highway or bridge
without a permit issued by the Director of Public Works, upon written
application therefor and upon the payment of a fee of $10 for the
use of the town; such application shall contain a description of the
vehicle or object to be so operated or moved, its gross weight and
dimensions and shall state the highways upon or over such vehicle
or object is to be operated or moved.
The Director of Public Works may refuse to issue
a permit specified in the preceding section if, in his judgment, operations
thereunder would result in material injury to any highway or bridge
of the town; or he may restrict or qualify such permit as he may deem
necessary to safeguard any highway or bridge of the Town from damage
or injury.
Before the issuance of a permit under § 54-57 of this Code, the applicant therefor shall file with the Director of Public Works a bond approved by him in the penal sum required by § 54-52 of this Code, conditioned to indemnify and save harmless the Town from all damage to any highway or surface thereof, bridge or public or private property or persons caused by the operation or movement of such vehicle or other object upon any highway or bridge in the town, and for any unlawful or negligent act or omission of the permittee, his agents or employees in any way relating to or growing out of the moving of such vehicle or other object under such permit.
In moving any object specified in § 54-57 of this Code, other than a vehicle on wheels, through or upon any highway or bridge, the same shall be supported on wheels or rollers or other device and in a manner approved by the Director of Public Works to avoid damage or injury to the surface of the highway or to any bridge.
If it shall be necessary for the vehicle or object specified in § 54-57 of this Code to remain in the highway during the nighttime, it shall be protected by a sufficient number of lighted red lanterns or flame torches from sundown until daylight to assure the safety of public travel on such highway at night.
