  • (a)

    The city engineer or director of traffic and transportation may in their discretion, upon application in writing, issue a special permit in writing authorizing the applicant to operate or move a vehicle, combination of vehicles, special self-propelled equipment, special mobile equipment, or load thereon of a size or weight in excess of the legal maximums set forth in this chapter, in the following instances:

    (1)

    Continuous special permits may be issued for the operation or movement of a vehicle or combination of vehicles of a size or weight in excess of the legal maximum when such vehicle or combination of vehicles does not exceed 144 inches in overall width, or when the total gross weight imposed on any single axle or group of two or more consecutive axles does not exceed the legal maximum weight for such vehicle or combination of vehicles by more than 25 percent.

    (2)

    Single-trip special permits may be issued for the operation or movement of vehicles or combinations of vehicles on an overall width in excess of 144 inches or when the total gross weight of such vehicle or combination of vehicles exceeds by more than 25 percent of the legal maximum weight for such vehicle or combination of vehicles; provided, however, that if several movements to and from the same points in the city with the same vehicles or combinations of vehicles may be required, continuous special permits for that specific operation may be issued.

    (3)

    Continuous or single-trip special permits may be issued for the operation or movement of special self-propelled equipment, such as truck cranes, truck shovels, loaders and similar equipment, of a size or weight in excess of the legal maximums set forth in this chapter.

    (b)

    In issuing any of the special permits provided for in this section, the city engineer or director of traffic and transportation may impose such conditions thereon, such as routes to be followed, place of operation or movement, time of operation or movement or other matters, as it shall deem necessary or proper to protect the streets, highways and alleys from damage or to minimize the inconvenience or delays to the general public.

    (c)

    The application for any of the special permits provided for in this section shall:

    (1)

    Specifically describe the vehicles, combinations of vehicles, special self-propelled equipment, and load thereon, and the particular streets, highways or alleys over which the special permit to operate or move the same is requested;

    (2)

    State whether such special permit is requested for a single trip or for continuous operation.

    (d)

    Nothing in this section contained shall be deemed to authorize the issuance of special permits for the movement of buildings or other structures of a size or weight in excess of legal maximums, within, into or through the city. If such a permit is sought, application therefor shall be made in accordance with chapter 14.22.
