(A) Appeals may be taken to and before the Board of Adjustments by any persons aggrieved, or by any officer, or department of the city. Such appeal shall be made by filing with the Building Inspector a notice of appeal and specifying the grounds thereof. The office or department from which the appeal is taken shall forthwith transmit to the Board of Adjustment all of the papers constituting the record upon which the action appealed from was taken.
(B) An appeal stays all proceedings in furtherance of the action that is appealed unless the official from whom the appeal is taken certifies in writing to the Board facts supporting the official's opinion that a stay would be an imminent peril to life or property. In that case, the proceedings may be stayed only by restraining order granted by the Board or a court of record on application, after notice to the official, if due cause is shown.
(C) The Board shall set a reasonable time for the appeal hearing and shall give public notice of the hearing and due notice to the parties in interest. A party may appear at the appeal hearing in person or by agent or attorney. The Board shall decide the appeal within a reasonable time.
