(a) An appeal may be taken to the Board of Zoning Appeals by any person, firm or corporation, or by any officer, Department, Board or Bureau affected by a decision of the Building Inspector. Such appeal, including all required information requested in the application by the Building Official, shall be filed no later than the fourth Tuesday of each month, to be heard on the second Thursday of the following month. Insufficient information submitted shall be a cause for delay of inclusion at the hearing. Appeals shall be taken by filing with the Building Inspector and with the Board of Appeals, specifying the grounds thereof. The Building Inspector shall forthwith transmit to the Board all of the papers constituting the record upon which the action appealed from was taken. An appeal shall stay all proceedings in furtherance of the action appealed from unless the Building Inspector certifies to the Board of Appeals after 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 which case the proceedings shall not be stayed, otherwise than by a restraining order, which may be granted by a court of record.
(b) The Board shall meet on the second Thursday of each month to hear all appeals submitted in accordance with subsection (a) hereof, a decision shall be rendered the evening of the meeting, with a ten working day appeal period to grant the variance as requested, deny the variance as refused, or a combination of both with conditions as imposed by the Board. Any person may appear and testify at the hearing, either in person or by duly authorized agent or attorney. (Ord. 85-1998. Passed 4-6-98.)
