(A) An appeal may be taken to the Planning and Zoning Board of Appeals by any person, firm or corporation, or by any office, department, board or bureau aggrieved by a decision of the Building Official. Such an appeal shall be taken within 30 days after the decision on the action complained of, by filing with the Building Official a notice of appeal specifying the grounds thereof. The Building Official shall forthwith transmit to the Planning and Zoning Board of Appeals all of the papers constituting a record upon which the action appealed from was taken.
(B) An appeal shall stay all proceedings in furtherance of the action appealed from unless the Building Official certifies to the Planning and Zoning Board of Appeals, after the notice of the appeal has been filed with him or her, that by reason of facts stated in the certificate a stay would, in his or her opinion, cause imminent peril to life and property, in which case the proceedings shall not be stayed otherwise than by a restraining order which may be granted by the Planning and Zoning Board of Appeals or by a court of record.
(C) The Planning and Zoning Board of Appeals shall select a reasonable time and place for the hearing of the appeal and give due notice thereof to the parties by mailing notice thereof to the parties in interest, said mailing to be made at least ten days prior to the date of hearing. The Board shall thereafter reach its decision within 60 days from the filing of the appeal. The Board may affirm or may reverse wholly or in part, or modify the order, requirement, decision or determination, and to that end, shall have all the powers of the officer to whom the appeal is taken. The Building Official shall maintain records of all actions of the Board relative to appeals.
