MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council /Manager
FROM: City Attorney
RE: Amendment of Moving Contractor Ordinance
Attached is a proposed ordinance amending the moving of
buildings ordinance, to deal with two problems which have
arisen with this ordinance in the recent past.
First, several persons have raised the complaint that the
ordinance requires the applicant for permit to have insur-
ance, rather than allowing the insurance of the moving
contractor to be available. This results in a double in-
suring, as the moving contractor is required to have such
insurance for his contractor's license. The interest which
this insurance is designed, presumably, to protect is that
of the public in seeing that the moving of the building,
involving traffic obstructions and other hazards, is an
insured activity. This amendment would simplify that sit-
uation.
The second amendment is designed to avoid the situation in
which a person can move a house, and then sell it, before
it is returned to usable condition. The Building Department
has requested this amendment, as some sales of moved build-
ings have occurred before they are restored to an occupancy
condition, and there has been some confusion on the part of
purchasers of those buildings.
3. File with the city treasurer a certificate of insur-
ance certifying applicant or the applicant's moving contractor as
the named insured under a comprehensive public liability policy of
insurance with a reputable insurer, with minimum policy limits of
fifty thousand dollars and one hundred thousand dollars for bodily
injury, and twenty -five thousand dollars for property damage,
4. Pay the city treasurer five hundred dollars for a
permit to move a building. Provided that four hundred and fifty
dollars of the permit fee shall be refunded to the permittee if
within one year after the date on which the building was moved,
the building moved complies with all applicable city ordinances,
rules and regulations, and is in a completed state.
Section 2. Section 14.32.050 of the Code of the City
of Port Angeles is amended to read as follows:
14.32.050 Time limit - -Site restoration. If at the end of one
year from the date of the move, or prior to sale or occupancy of
the building, whichever is sooner, the building is not in a com-
pleted state and ready for occupancy, both inside and out, its
owner shall, within thirty (30) days remove it from its site and
restore the site to its condition as it existed prior to the
issurance of the permit.
PASSED by the City Council of the City of Port Angeles
at a regular meeting of the Council held on the / day of
May, 1979.
