(A) Filing of appeals. Appeals to the Zoning Board of Appeals may be made by any person aggrieved, or by any officer, department, or board of the village. Any appeal from the ruling of the Zoning Administrator concerning the enforcement of the provisions of this chapter may be made to the Zoning Board of Appeals within ten days after the date of the mailing of the Zoning Administrator's decision. The appeal shall be filed with the Secretary of the Board of Appeals and with the Zoning Administrator, and shall specify the grounds for the appeal. The Zoning Administrator shall immediately transmit to the Secretary of the Board all papers constituting the record upon which the action appealed from was taken.
(B) Stay. An appeal shall stay all proceedings in furtherance of the action appealed from unless the Building Inspector certifies to the Zoning Board of Appeals after notice of appeal has been filed with him or her that by reason of facts stated in the certificate a stay would, in his or her opinion, cause imminent peril to life or property, in which case the proceedings shall not be stayed otherwise than by a restraining order, which may be granted by the Board of Appeals or, on application, by court of record.
(C) Fees. A fee as established by the Village Council shall be paid to the Secretary of the Board of Appeals at the time of filing application with the Board. The purpose of the fee is to cover, in part, the necessary advertisements, investigations, and other expenses incurred by the Board in connection with the appeal.
