An appeal to the Zoning Board of Appeals may be made by any person aggrieved by a decision of the Zoning Administrator under this chapter and in accordance with the Illinois State Statutes and the following provisions:
(A) An application for an appeal shall be filed with the Village Clerk within 45 days of the date of the action from which the appeal is being filed, and thereafter the Clerk shall forward the application to the Zoning Board of Appeals for processing.
(B) An appeal stays all proceedings in furtherance of the action appealed from, unless the Zoning Administrator from whom the appeal is taken certifies to the Board of Appeals, after the notice of appeal has been filed with him, that by reason of facts stated in the certificate a stay would, in his/her opinion, cause imminent peril to life or property, in which case proceedings shall not be stayed otherwise than by a court of record on application, on notice to the Zoning Administrator and on due cause shown.
(C) The Zoning Board of Appeals shall fix a reasonable time, not to exceed 60 days, for the public hearing on the appeal, and give due notice thereof to the parties involved, and decide the same within a reasonable time frame. The Zoning Board of Appeals may reverse or affirm, wholly or partly, or may modify, the order, requirement, decision, or determination appealed, as it sees fit, and to that end shall have all the powers of the officer from whom the appeal was taken.
(D) All applications for appeals shall be accompanied by a fee, consistent with the fee schedule as adopted by the Village Board of Trustees and as noted in § 159.178. In addition, the applicant is responsible for any and all review fees, transcription fees and publication fees that may be incurred by the village.
