   D.   Board Action: The board shall hold the public hearing and upon the concurring vote of four (4) members may, so long as such action is in conformity with the terms of this title, reverse or affirm, wholly or partly, or may modify the order, requirement, decision, or determinations appealed from and may make such order, requirement, decision, or determinations as ought to be made, and to that end shall have the powers of the building inspector from whom the appeal is taken.
   E.   Stay Of Proceedings: An appeal stays all proceedings in furtherance of the action appealed from, unless the building inspector from whom the appeal is taken certifies to the board of adjustment, after the notice of appeal shall have been filed with him, that by reason of 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 other than by a restraining order granted by the board on due and sufficient cause shown. (Ord., 3-8-1971)
