The Chief Inspector shall forthwith transmit to the Board all of the papers constituting the record upon which the action appealed from was taken.

(C) The Board of Appeals on Zoning shall select a reasonable time and place for the hearing of the appeal and give due notice thereof to the parties and shall render a decision on the appeal without unreasonable delay.
