(a) An appeal to the Board of Zoning Appeals may be taken by any person aggrieved or by an officer of the Municipality affected by any decision of the Director of the Building Department. Such appeal shall be taken within twenty days after the decision, by filing with the Director and with the Board a notice of appeal, specifying the grounds thereof.
The Director shall forthwith transmit to the Board all the papers constituting the record upon which the action appealed from was taken.
(b) An appeal shall stay all proceedings in furtherance of the action appealed from, unless the Director shall certify to the Board, after the notice of appeal has been filed with it, that there are facts which would, in his opinion, cause immediate peril to life or property. In such a case, proceedings shall not be stayed otherwise than by a restraining order which may be granted by the Board or by a court of equity, after notice to the officer from whom the appeal is taken and due cause is shown.
(c) The Board may in conformity with the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance reverse or affirm, wholly or partly, or may modify the order, requirements, decision or determination as in its opinion ought to be made in the premises, and to that end, shall have all powers of the Director from whom the appeal is taken.
