(A) Appeals. A person aggrieved by the decision of the Platting Board may make written request for a hearing before the City Council to appeal such decision. For purposes of this subsection, an aggrieved person means the applicant or a landowner within the boundaries of the area proposed to be platted, altered, or replatted. Such request shall contain reference to the specific decision appealed and shall be delivered to the City Clerk within ten working days from the decision. Upon receipt of any such request, the City Council will set a date for a public hearing to consider the Platting Board's decision and objections thereto. The City Council may at its hearing receive such further evidence as is relevant. At the public hearing, the City Council shall have the power to overrule, alter, or maintain the ruling of the Platting Board. The decision of the City Council is final and may be appealed to the Superior Court.
(1) With respect to abbreviated plats (§ 8.08.040) and right-of-way acquisition plats (§ 8.08.050), all decisions of the Director of Planning as the Platting Authority shall be final unless appealed to the Board within ten working days after the date of the decision. An appeal under this subsection shall be treated as a preliminary platting application. The decision of the Board is appealable as discussed above.
(B) Appeals from administrative decisions. Administrative decisions shall be in writing. Appeals shall be taken to the Platting Board by any affected landowner within the affected area proposed to be platted, altered, or replatted, which is affected by any order, requirement, permit, or decision made by the Director of Planning or any administrative official in the administration of, or the enforcement of this chapter. Such appeals shall be filed in writing, with the Director of Planning within 10 working days of the date of the action being appealed. Upon receipt of such an appeal, the Director of Planning shall set the time and place at which the matter will be considered. At least 10 days' notice of such time and place shall be given to the adverse parties of record of such time and to the official whose decision is being appealed. The officer from whom the appeal is being taken shall transmit to the Platting Board all records and proceedings pertaining to the decision being appealed, together with such additional written reports as are deemed necessary. In exercising the power granted therein, the Platting Board may, in conformity with this chapter, reverse or affirm, wholly or in part, or modify the order or decision appealed from, and may make such order, as should be made. The Platting Board in making its decision may hear any pertinent facts. A person aggrieved by a decision of the Platting Board may appeal that decision pursuant to 8.08.130(A).
