No person, firm or corporation shall move or relocate any building or structure into the city, or from one lot to another lot within the city, or from one portion of a lot to another location on the same lot without first obtaining a building relocation permit; provided, however, nothing contained in this chapter shall be construed to apply to a factory-built building approved as such by the state. To obtain a permit, the applicant shall first file an application therefor in writing on a form furnished for that purpose. Any building relocation shall be subject to the following provisions: A. The following information shall be filed for review and subject to the approval of the building official prior to the issuance of the building relocation permit: 1. The location and address of the old and new sites; 2. A plot plan of the new location, including the showing of adjacent lots on all sides of the property and an indication of all structures and improvements on such lot; 3. Plans and specifications for the proposed improvements at the new location, including drainage; 4. The definition of the route of travel for the building to be moved. The time and route shall be subject to the approval of the city engineer, fire chief and chief of police; 5. A termite inspection report prepared by a legally qualified person; 6. The abandonment of sewage disposal systems and/or sewer laterals as set forth in the Uniform Plumbing Code; 7. A current photograph showing the front of each building to be relocated; 8. Such additional information as shall be deemed reasonably necessary by the building official to carry out the intent and purpose of this chapter. B. Before any application for a relocation permit is accepted, an inspection fee as set by council resolution shall be paid to the city for the cost of investigation of the condition of the building to be moved and the inspection of the proposed new location. Exception: Buildings relocated to different locations on the same lot or parcel are exempt from the payment of the inspection fee. 1. When the application includes an accessory building in addition to the main structure, an additional inspection fee as set by council resolution for each accessory building shall be paid.
