It shall be unlawful to move or place any used building or other structure on any lot or parcel of land within the corporate limits of the city of Ellensburg without first having secured a building permit as required by ordinance of the city of Ellensburg. At the time of application for such building permit, there shall be posted a cash bond, or surety bond acceptable to the city, in the sum of $500.00 to insure compliance with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations regarding such relocation and also to insure that the building or other structure shall be made to comply with all such applicable requirements within the time stated in the building permit application, which time shall in no event exceed 180 days. Such bond shall be forfeited in the event of any such noncompliance with such requirements and/or in the event any lot or other parcel of land within the city of Ellensburg from which such building or structure has been moved has not been graded and all footings, foundations and debris removed therefrom within the same period of time. Upon satisfactory performance, such bond shall be refunded or canceled. [Ord. 3165 § 2, 1978; Ord. 2017, 1947; Ord. 2015 § 1, 1947.]
3.06.080 Violations – Removal.
Any building or structure placed so as to constitute a violation of this chapter shall be promptly removed upon notice to do so given by the city building official to the owner and/or the person, firm or agency having the right of control and/or possession of the real property upon which the building or structure is situated, and/or by the posting of notice thereon in a conspicuous place. If the building or structure is not so removed within 30 days following the giving and/or posting of such notice, the city may cause such removal to be accomplished, and in such event the cost of such removal constitutes a lien upon the property on which the same is situated, notice of which lien shall be filed for record in the office of the Kittitas County auditor. Any such lien shall be subject to foreclosure in the manner provided by law for the foreclosure of mortgages. It shall be a violation of this chapter to fail to complete any building or structure under the terms of the building permit within 180 days following the date the building permit is issued.
