(a) Any determination of the Director of Public Works under this article may be appealed to the Village Manager by filing a request for review in writing within 35 days after the Director issues his or her determination. Any decision of the Village Manager may be further appealed to the Board of Trustees of the village by filing a request for review in writing within 35 days after the Manager issues his or her decision. The decision of the Board of Trustees will be final.
(b) In reviewing the determination of the Director, the Village Manager or the Board of Trustees (as the case may be) will consider only whether the determination of the Director in applying the regulations of this article imposes an unreasonable and undue economic hardship that materially limits the property owner from making reasonable use of such owner's property or otherwise imposes requirements which are unreasonably burdensome to the property owner given the benefits thereof to the village. After receiving written submittals from the property owner and the Director (and after a hearing if the Manager or Board of Trustees determines that such a hearing will be instructive), a decision on such appeal must be issued in writing no more than 60 days after the delivery of the final submittal by the owner or Director or after the close of the hearing, whichever is later.
(c) In considering an appeal under this section, the Village Manager or Board of Trustees may reverse, affirm, or modify the determination of the Director, or remand the determination back to the Director for further consideration, with or without instructions.
(d) The Village Manager or Board of Trustees may issue further procedural rules governing appeals under this section.
