An appeal from a decision of the Code Enforcement Officer may be taken by any aggrieved person or Village official within twenty (20) days from the date of the decision from which the appeal is taken, by mailing a certified letter to the Chairman of the Board of Zoning Appeals setting forth the grounds for such appeal and enclosing the appropriate fee of seventy-five dollars ($75.00). A copy of such appeal letter shall be mailed to the Code Enforcement Officer, who shall forthwith transmit to the Board all information in his possession concerning the decision upon which the appeal is taken.
Upon receipt of an appeal letter and the payment of the fee, the Board shall place the matter on the agenda of its next meeting and shall give the required notice for such hearing. The Board shall make a decision on the appeal within fifteen days after the hearing thereon. The Board may vary the application of this chapter to any particular case when, in its opinion, enforcement thereof would do manifest injustice, would be contrary to the spirit and purpose of this chapter or other zoning provisions, would be contrary to the public interest or when, in its opinion, the decision of the Code Enforcement Officer should be modified or reversed. A decision of the Board shall be in writing and shall specify the reasons therefore. The Code Enforcement Officer shall take action immediately in accordance with the decision of the Board.
