   (a)    All appeals shall be heard by the Board of Zoning Appeals of the Town of Star City, hereafter referred to as the Board.

   (c)    The Board shall, upon receipt of the petition, hold a hearing within fourteen days. At the hearing the petitioner shall be given an opportunity to show cause why the notice or order should be modified or withdrawn.

   (d)    The Board shall have the power to affirm, modify or revoke the notice or order and may grant variances from the provisions of this article or from applicable rules and regulations issued pursuant thereto when the Board finds that there is practical difficulty or unnecessary hardship connected with the performance of any act required by this article and applicable rules and regulations pursuant thereto, that strict adherence to such provision would be arbitrary in the case at hand, and that such variance is in harmony with the general purpose of this article to secure the public health, safety and welfare. In no case shall the Board of Zoning Appeals act on a request for the modification of the application fee or grant relief from mandatory inspections.

   (e)    Should such hearing and review before the Board result in a decision adverse to the petitioner, the petitioner may appeal from the decision of the Board to the County Circuit Court, provided that such appeal shall be taken within sixty days from the date of the final decision of the Board.

   (f)    Should the Board find for the petitioner on an administrative appeal, the appeals fee shall be refunded to the petitioner.
