§ 158.120 APPEALS PROCEDURES.
   (A)   Initiation. An appeal may be taken to the Zoning Board of Appeals by any person, firm, or corporation or by any office, department board, bureau, or commission, aggrieved by an administrative order, requirement, decision, or determination under this chapter by the Zoning Administrator or other authorized official of the village.
   (B)   Processing. An appeal shall be filed with the Zoning Administrator, who shall forward such petition with all exhibits and papers constituting the record upon which the action was taken to the Zoning Board of Appeals for processing in accordance with the applicable statutes of the state. The Board of Appeals shall within 30 days fix a time for the hearing of the appeal and give due notice thereof to the parties and decide the appeal. Upon the hearing, any party may appear in person or by agent or by attorney.
   (C)   Stay of proceedings. An appeal stays all proceedings in furtherance of the action appealed from, unless the officer from whom the appeal is taken certifies to the Board of Appeals, after the notice of appeal has been filed with him, that by reason of facts stated in the certificate a stay would, in his or her opinion, cause imminent peril to life or property. In this event, the proceedings shall not be stayed, or otherwise than by a restraining order which may be granted by the Board of Appeals or by a circuit court on application and on notice to the officer from whom the appeal is taken, and on due cause shown.
