TO: City Council
FROM: Planning Director �?
SUBJECT: Building Moving Ordinance
The Commission has been concerned for some time at the
shortcomings of the House Moving Ordinance adopted in
x1955. This Ordinance limits house moving to the night
`time period and has no requirements regarding clean up
of old sites and completion of buildings on new sites.
The administrative procedure also does not correlate
applications with the City Engineer and Police Departments.
A new Ordinance has been drafted which will simplify pro-
cedures, require clean up of former site and completion
on the new site and enable approval to be given by the
Board of Adjustments rather than the Planning Commission.
Resolution No. 127 -65 of the Planning Commission recommends
that the Council hold the necessary public hearings on this
Ordinance with the view to its adoption.
