Appeals of Administators Decision


Any appeal may be taken to the Zoning Board of Appeals by any person, firm or corporation, or by any officer, department, board or bureau affected by a decision of the Administrative Official concerning the zoning provisions of this Code. Such appeal shall be taken within forty-five (45) days by filing with the Administrative Official and Zoning Board of Appeals a notice of appeal specifying the grounds thereof.

The Administrative Official shall thereupon transmit to the Board all papers constituting the record upon which the action appealed from was taken. Any appeal shall stay all proceedings in furtherance of action appealed from, unless the Administrative Official certifies to the Zoning Board of Appeals after the notice of appeal has been filed with him that, by reason of facts stated in the certificate, the stay would, in his opinion, cause imminent peril to life or property, in which case, the proceedings shall not be stayed otherwise than by a restraining order which may be granted by the Zoning Board of Appeals or by a Circuit Court on application, or notice to the Administrative Official and on due cause shown.

The Board shall select a reasonable time and place for the public hearing of the appeal and give due notice by first-class mail to the parties concerned, and shall render a decision on the appeal without unreasonable delay. Any party may appear and testify at the hearing, either in person or by duly authorized agent or attorney. The Board shall recommend to the Corporate Authority, reversal or affirmation, wholly or partly, or may recommend a modification to the order, requirement, decision or determination applied from to the extent and in the manner that the Board may decide to be fitting and proper to the premises.
