Any person aggrieved by a decision or interpretation of the plat officer pursuant to this chapter may appeal such decision or interpretation by filing with the village clerk a notice of appeal within 30 days after such decision or interpretation is made. The board of trustees shall cause notice to be given to the person making the appeal (and, if different, to the applicant of the subject property under such appeal) of a public meeting before the board of trustees to review such appeal. Such public meeting shall be held not fewer than five days nor more than 45 days after the appeal has been filed and notice in accordance with the preceding sentence has been given. In making its decision, the board of trustees shall give proper deference to the reasonable decisions and interpretations of those charged with the administration of this chapter. The board of trustees shall make a decision on the appeal within 60 days after the public meeting. The board of trustees may affirm, modify or reverse, in whole or in part, the decision or interpretation appealed from and may include such order or determination in its decision as the board of trustees determines, in the exercise of its discretion, is appropriate and proper under the circumstances. The decision of the board of trustees shall be final. The failure of the board of trustees to act within the time periods specified in this section, or within such further time or times to which the applicant may agree, shall be deemed to be a decision of the board of trustees denying the appeal in its entirety.
