1359.06 APPEAL TO BOARD OF APPEALS.

   Within ten (10) days of receipt of the permit issued by the Building Commissioner, the applicant may appeal the terms of the permit to the Board of Appeals. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of an appeal, the Board of Appeals shall set a date for hearing and shall notify, in writing, the applicant and any other persons whom the Board deems to have an interest in the matter, at least five (5) days prior to the hearing. The Board of Appeals shall consider the recommendation of the Building Commissioner, Engineer and Arborist, as well as any and all additional evidence presented by the applicant and other persons at the hearing. The Board of Appeals shall determine whether the permit shall be expanded and may attach such conditions as it deems necessary to promote the public welfare. The Board of Appeals shall not expand the permit if it finds that such removal or destruction of trees is reasonably likely to cause soil erosion, result in pollution or an unreasonably large loss of oxygen, interference with drainage and the natural supply of water, or that it will result in an unsightly and blighted condition, or will depress property value in the Municipality.
