(a) Each appeal filed with the Clerk of the Board of Zoning Appeals shall be transferred forthwith to the Chairman of the Board of Zoning Appeals who shall number the appeal serially and place it upon the calendar of the Board. The calendar numbers shall begin anew on January 1 each year, and shall be hyphenated with the number of the year in which the appeal is filed.
(b) Appeals will be assigned for hearing in the order in which they appear on the calendar thereof, except that an appeal may be advanced for hearing by order of the Board upon good cause being shown.
(c) A notice of the hearing of an appeal before the Board shall consist of a written notice mailed to the appellant or his agent at the address given on the appeal and to directly affected property owners or their agents at least five days prior to the date set for the proposed hearing. At its own discretion the Board may substitute a legal notice published in a newspaper of general circulation in the Municipality at least ten days before the date set for a public hearing and this may be in lieu of the written notice prescribed above to be mailed to directly affected property owners or their agents. The cost of postage for mailing the required notices to the appellant and the directly affected property owners and/or the cost of publishing any legal notices shall be deducted from the ten dollar ($10.00) deposit made with the Board at the time of filing the appeal.
