Any such notice of appeal shall not be valid and shall not be acted upon unless filed within fifteen days after the date of the action or decision appealed from. If notice of such action has not been provided in writing, and the appellant had no notice of the hearing at which the action was to be considered, the appellant may, within five days after first becoming aware of such action, demand written notice thereof, and shall have ten days following such notice in which to file the notice of appeal. A prospective appellant who was present at the time the action or decision relating thereto was made shall be presumed to have constructive notice thereof and shall file a notice of appeal within fifteen days after the date of the action or decision.
