The Board of Appeals makes a recommendation to the Village Board on the appeal within 30 days after the hearing therein. The Board of Appeal’s recommendation may reverse or affirm, wholly or partly, or may modify or amend the decision or order appealed from the extent and in the manner that it deems appropriate.
(1999 Code, § 40-10-16) (Ord. 5/9/2000-1, passed 5-9-2000)
Editor’s note:
The Board of Appeals is delegated the task of hearing appeals from the decisions of the Zoning Administrator or other official charged with enforcement of an ordinance passed pursuant to the Zoning Enabling Act. This may, for example, entail determining whether there has been a discontinuance of a nonconforming use. It is important for the applicant to note the appeal process because of the requirement of exhaustion of administrative remedies before suit is filed as well as the more obvious reason of using a less expensive administrative process for correcting a mistake or error which may have been made by the Zoning Administrator. (See 65 ILCS 5/11-13-3.)
