A. Authority: The zoning board of appeals 1 shall hear appeals from an administrative order, requirement or determination under this title, made by the zoning administrator, and make its recommendation to the village board.
B. Initiation And Processing:
1. An appeal may be taken to the zoning board of appeals by any person, or by an office, department, board, bureau or commission, aggrieved by an administrative order, requirement, decision or determination under this Title.
2. The appeal shall be taken within such time as shall be prescribed by the Board of Appeals by a general rule by filing with the Village Clerk and with the Board of Appeals a notice of appeal, specifying the grounds thereof. Such appeal shall be taken on forms provided by the Zoning Board of Appeals. The officer from whom the appeal is taken shall forthwith transmit to the Board all the papers constituting the record upon which the action appealed was taken.
3. An appeal stays all proceedings in furtherance of the action appealed from, unless the Zoning Administrator 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 opinion, cause imminent peril to life or property. In this event, the proceedings shall not be stayed otherwise than by a restraining order which may be granted by the Board of Appeals or by a court of record on application and on notice to the officer from whom the appeal is taken, and on due causes shown.
4. The Board of Appeals shall fix a reasonable time for the hearing of appeal and give due notice thereof to the parties and decide the appeal within a reasonable time. Any party may appear in person or by agent or attorney. The Board of Appeals may recommend the reversal or affirmation, wholly or partly, or may recommend the modification of the order, requirement, decision or determination as in its opinion ought to be made in the situation and to that end all the powers of the officer from whom the appeal is taken.
C. Decisions: All decisions of the Village Board, after hearing by and recommendation of the Zoning Board of Appeals from an administrative order, requirement, decision or determination of the Building Inspector, shall in all instances be final administrative determinations and shall be subject to judicial review only in accordance with applicable Illinois statutes.
