Upon receipt of an application, it shall be the duty of the Code Enforcement Officer to procure from the Village Department of Public Works an estimate of the expense that will be incurred in removing and replacing any electric wires, street lamps, sewer lines or pole lines belonging to the village or any other property of the village, the removal and replacement of which will be required by reason of the moving of the building through the village, together with the cost of materials necessary to be used in making such removals and replacements. Prior to issuance of the permit, the Code Enforcement Officer shall require of the applicant a deposit of a sum of money equal to the amount of the estimated expense.
An application hereunder shall be accompanied by an insurance policy issued by an insurance company authorized to do business in the State of New York, and in form approved by the Village Attorney, providing personal and property liability coverage in the respective amounts as follows: for property damage, $1,000,000 per individual and $1,000,000 per occurrence; and for personal injury, $1,000,000 per individual and $1,000,000 per occurrence.

The applicant may then take the matter to the Board of Trustees of the Village of Tarrytown for further consideration.

However, no building shall remain on any street in the Village of Tarrytown unless and until it has the specific approval to so remain by the Chief of Police and Fire Chief, and the applicant must be notified and receive the approval by said Chiefs on or before 2:00 p.m. of the night on which the applicant is going to leave the building standing on the street. Should permission not be granted, in writing, from said Chiefs and the applicant does leave said building on the streets, then the village shall have the right to immediately take the necessary steps to remove the building, and all costs, charges and fees incurred thereby shall be chargeable to the applicant.
Street occupancy period: remove the building from the village streets after two days of such occupancy unless an extension is granted by the Board of Trustees.
