Intent to violate those limitations is presumed if the loaded vehicle exceeds the applicable gross vehicular weight limit by 15 percent or more. This subsection B.(2) does not apply to the loading or causing to be loaded of an agricultural or a forestry connnodity prior to the processing of the commodity. 3. The load limits established by this subsection B. shall be posted by appropriate signs within the Town by the Chief of Police or his designated representative prior to the enforcement of any of the provision hereof. C. Application for registration to show weight and maximum load; license recei t• Peenalty for violation. When any person, firm or corporation desires to operate over any Town street any vehicle that cannot comply with one or more of the weight restrictions contained in this Section VII, the Permit Department may, as an altemative to any other procedure authorized by law, upon application issue a pemlit for the movement of such vehicle, when the Permit Department is of the opinion that the same may be moved without material damnage to the street or road. Upon application for a permit for any commercial motor vehicle, truck -tractor, trailer or semi -trailer, the applicant shall deliver to the Permit Department an affidavit, duly sworn to before an officer authorized to administer oaths, showing the weight of said vehicle, the maximum load to be transported thereon, and the total gross weight for which said vehicle is to be permitted; which affidavit shall be kept on file by the Permit Department.

The movement of such overweight vehicles is a privilege not accorded to every user of the Town streets. Therefore, the fees for a special transportation permit should be sufficient to cover the administrative costs incurred in the processing and issuing of the permit and the additional wear on the Town's streets. It is also recognized that the use of such overweight vehicles on the Town's streets may inconvenience other vehicle operators. It is, therefore, declared to be the policy of the Town Council that in formulating such rules and regulations and in establishing such fees, the Town Council shall consider and be guided by: 1. The Town's investment in its streets; 2. The safety and convenience of the general traveling public; 3. The suitability of roadways and sub -grades on the streets, variation in soil grade and the seasonal effect on street load capacity. D. Liability. The issuance of a permit for an overweight movement shall not be a guarantee by the Town that the streets can safely accommodate such movement, and the owner of any vehicle involved in any overweight imovement, whether with or without permit, shall be strictly liable for any damage such movement shall cause the streets or any of its structures or appurtenances.

In the event the gross weight of such vehicle is found to exceed the unaxinnnn gross weight authorized by law, plus a tolerance allowance of five percent (5%) of the gross weight authorized by law, such police officer shall demand and require the operator or owner thereof to rearrange his cargo if possible to bring such vehicle and load within the maximum axle load authorized by law, and if this cannot be done by rearrangement of said cargo, then such portion of the load as may be necessary to decrease the axle load to the maximum authorized by law plus such tolerance allowance shall be unloaded before such vehicle may be operated further over the public roads of the Town. Provided, however, that if such load consists of livestock, then such operator shall be permitted to proceed to destination without being unloaded, provided the destination be within the State of Texas.
