No person, firm or corporation shall move, or cause to be moved, over any city street, a building or structure unless such person, firm, or corporation shall have first given at least 96 hours’ written notice thereof, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, to the engineering department and police department of the city and to all utilities having wires which must be raised or lowered to permit the passage or movement of the building or structure along or across the street. The aforesaid written notice shall designate therein the proposed route over which such building or structure is to travel, the proposed time that such movement is to take place, the height of the building, and the estimated weight of the building or structure. Before the time specified for the movement of such building, the city engineer may require that a different route be taken or that specific methods be used in the movement of such building if, in the opinion of the engineer, damage might be caused to any street. The engineer may also designate a different time or day for such movement and give notice thereof to the utilities in the event that any interruption of utility service at the proposed time will unduly inconvenience the public. Where utility wires must be raised or lowered there shall be paid in advance to the utilities involved the actual cost of raising or lowering such wires. If the notices herein described are given and the cost paid to the utilities, it shall be the duty of such utilities to raise or lower all wires necessary at the required time. (Ord. 1173 § 9, 1961)
