(a) The Board of Zoning Appeals shall fix a reasonable time for the hearing of an appeal, give public notice thereof and at least ten days notice to parties of interest, and decide upon the appeal within a reasonable time after it is submitted. Each application or notice of appeal shall be accompanied by the fee specified in Section 1125.03. At this hearing, any party may appear in person or by attorney.
(b) The hearings of the Board shall be public. However, the Board may go into executive session for discussion, but not for voting on any case before it.
(c) Upon the day for hearing an application or appeal, the Board may adjourn the hearing in order to permit the obtaining of additional information or to cause such further notice as it deems proper to be served upon such other property owners as it decides may be substantially interested in the application or appeal. In the case of an adjourned hearing, persons previously notified and persons already heard need not be notified of the time of resumption of such hearing unless the Board so decides.
(d) The Board shall decide all applications and appeals within thirty days after the final hearing thereon.
(e) The Chairman of the Board shall make and transmit a certified copy of the Board's decision to all parties of interest. Such decision shall be binding upon the Director and observed by him and he shall incorporate the terms and conditions of the decision in the permit to the applicant or appellant, whenever a permit is authorized by the Board.
(f) A decision of the Board shall not become final until the expiration of five days from the date such decision is made, unless the Board finds the immediate taking effect of such decision is necessary for the preservation of property or personal rights, and in that event, shall so certify on the record.
