(a) An appeal to the Board may be taken by any person aggrieved or by any officer of the Municipality affected by any decision of the Building and Zoning Inspector. Such appeals shall be taken within twenty days after the decision, by filing with the Building and Zoning Inspector and with the Board a notice of appeal specifying the grounds thereof. The Building and Zoning Inspector shall forthwith transmit to the Board all the papers constituting the 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 and Zoning Inspectors shall certify to the Board of Zoning Appeals after the notice of appeal shall have been filed with it that by reason of facts stated in the certificate, a stay would, in his opinion, cause imminent peril of life or property. In such a case proceedings shall not be stayed otherwise than by a restraining order which may be granted by the Board or by a court of competent jurisdiction after notice to the officer from whom the appeal is taken and on due cause shown.
(c) The Board, may in conformity with the provisions of this Zoning Ordinance, reverse or affirm, wholly or in part, or may modify the order, requirement, decision or determination appealed from and shall make such order, requirement, decision or determination as in its opinion ought to be made and to that end, shall have all powers of the Building and Zoning Inspector from whom the appeal is taken. A fee established by Council shall accompany any application for appeal.
(d) An appeal from the decision of the Board of Zoning Appeals in any matter in which the Board has original or appellate jurisdiction may be taken to the Court of Common Pleas of Carroll County, Ohio, or such other court of competent jurisdiction as may be provided for by law.
