(A) Whenever a person or entity is aggrieved by a decision of the Floodplain Administrator with respect to the provisions of this chapter, it is the right of that person or entity to appeal to the City Council sitting as the Floodplain Appeals Board. Such appeal must be filed with the City Clerk, in writing, within 30 days after notification of the decision of the Floodplain Administrator as announced at a regularly scheduled City Council meeting. Said appeal shall be served by the aggrieved person by regular mail on all interested parties on the date that said appeal is filed. Upon receipt of such appeal, the Floodplain Appeals Board shall set a time, date and place not less than ten nor more than 60 calendar days for the purpose of hearing the appeal. Notice of the time, date and place of the hearing shall be given to all interested parties by placing an announcement of said hearing date, time and place on the agenda of the next regularly scheduled City Council meeting notice and to announce the date, time and place of the appeal hearing not sooner than ten calendar days from said announcement date, at which time all may appear and be heard. The determination by the Floodplain Appeals Board shall be final in all cases, subject to any appeal to the Circuit Court of Randolph County, West Virginia or any other court of competent jurisdiction.
(B) In the event an appeal is filed wherein a floodplain permit has been granted by the Floodplain Administrator, the Floodplain Administrator shall immediately issue a stop work order notice that shall remain in effect until a resolution of said appeal is approved or denied.
