Appeals to the Board of Zoning Appeals may be taken by any person,, firm or corporation, or by any officer, board or department of the village, deeming himself or itself to be adversely affected by the decision of the administrative official pertaining hereto. Appeals should be made no later than 15 calendar days after the date of any adverse decision. The appellant shall post security for the cost of all action required for the hearing of the appeal. An appeal shall stay all proceedings in furtherance of the action appealed from, unless the administrative officer whose decision is appealed from shall certify to the Board of Zoning Appeals after the notice of the appeal has been filed, that by reason of the facts stated in the certificate, a stay would, in his opinion, cause imminent peril to life or property. In such case, proceedings shall not be stayed by other than a restraining order granted by the Board of Zoning Appeals or by a court having lawful jurisdiction. Within its powers, the Board of Zoning Appeals may reverse or affirm, wholly or in part, or modify the order, requirement, decision or determination as in its opinion ought to be done, and to that end shall have all powers of the officers from whom the appeal is taken, and it may issue or direct the issuance of a permit or certificate. The Board of Zoning Appeals shall decide all such appeals within 45 days after the date of the hearing except that such time may be extended by mutual consent. (Ord. 2000-0-03. Passed 3-13-00.)
