(A) Appeals to the Board of Zoning Appeals may be taken by the applicant, or any other person, firm or corporation, or by any officer, board or department of the village, located within 500 feet of the permitted property, deeming himself, herself, themselves or itself to be adversely affected by the decision of the administrative official pertaining hereto. Appeals should be made no later than 30 calendar days after the date of any adverse decision.
(B) The appellant shall post security in the amount of $150 for the cost of all action required for the hearing of the appeal. This security shall be refunded only if the appeal is withdrawn prior to the mailing of any hearing notices. An exception to this requirement are village boards and commissions which shall be exempt from the posting of security for costs.
(C) An appeal shall stay all proceedings in furtherance of the action appealed from, unless the administrative officer whose decision is appealed from shall certify to the Board of Zoning Appeals after the notice of the appeal has been filed, that by reason of the facts stated in the certificate, a stay would, in his opinion, cause imminent peril to life or property. In such case, proceedings shall not be stayed by other than a restraining order granted by the Board of Zoning Appeals or by a court of competent jurisdiction. The Board of Zoning Appeals may reverse or affirm, wholly or in part, or modify the order, requirement, decision or determination as in its opinion ought to be done, and to that end shall have all the powers of the officers from whom the appeal is taken, and it may issue or direct the issuance of a permit or certificate. The Board of Zoning Appeals shall decide all such appeals within 30 days after date of hearing except that such time may be extended by mutual consent.
