B. Appeal Procedures:
1. The appellant must file a notice of appeal with the city clerk on forms provided by the city, specifying the grounds of the appeal. Such appeal must be submitted within a reasonable time from the date of the action appealed from as provided by the rules of the board. A duplicate copy of such notice shall be filed with the secretary of the board of adjustment.

C. Stay Of Proceedings: An appeal stays all proceedings in furtherance of the action appealed from, including, without limitation, the right of the permittee to proceed with development or other activities authorized under a building permit, the issuance of which is a subject of the appeal, unless the city manager or designee certifies to the board after the notice of appeal has been filed that, by reason of facts stated in the certificate, a stay would, in the city manager's or designee's opinion, cause imminent peril to life or property. In such case, proceedings or development shall not be stayed otherwise than by a restraining order, which may be granted by the board of adjustment or by a court of record and on notice to the city manager or designee for due cause shown.
