Application for such permit shall be ma.de to the Building Official on forms provided by the City setting out such information as the Building Official shall deem necessary or desirable to carry out the purpose and intent of this Chapter. 3. Said application shall be accompanied by a fee of $1.00 for each 100 square feet of floor area or fraction thereof for each floor of the building or buildings to which said permit applies, provided that the minimum fee shall be $10.00, and provided further, that a permit may be issued without fee if the building or build- ings are to be demolished by the owner thereof on his own property or if the demo- lition has been ordered by the Building Official or a court. 4. Before such permit is issued the applicant shall have on file with the City Clerk a certificate showing that applicant has in effect a policy of insurance insuring applicant for liability from personal injury or property damage with limits not less than $100,000 for injury to one person and $300,000 for injury to any number of persons in one occurence and $50,000 for damage to property. Such policy of insurance may include a deductible not to exceed $100. Said certificate shall expressly provide that the policy to which it relates may not be modified or cancelled unless or until 10 days written notice has been received by the City Clerk. The provisions of this section may be waived by the Building Official by endorsement on the face of the permit if the building to be demolished does not exceed one story and the same is situated at least ten feet from any other building and from any public way, or if said building does not exceed two stories and is situated at least twenty-five feet from any other building and from any public way. 5. If the demolition, by reason of the size, condition, location of the building or buildings, or other consideration, in the reasonable judgement of the Building Official appears to present a possible interference with or risk to persons or property proximate thereto, the Building Official may require applicant to submit in writing, or other graphic form, plans for the protection of such persons or property showing such procedures or measures as the Building Official may deem reasonably adequate to lessen such interference or risk. The permittee shall implement and adhere to said plans during the course of the demolition. 6. The person, firm or corporation to whom a permit is issued shall: a. Cause the demolition to commence promptly within a reasonable time not to exceed 30 days af ter the permit is issued. b. Cause the demolition to proceed continuously during customary working hours until completion. EXHIBIT A
