Appeals shall be taken within such time as shall be prescribed by the Board by general rule, by the appellant paying to the city an appeal fee as may be established by the City Council and filing an application in writing with the Zoning Board of Appeals and with the official from whom an appeal is taken who shall forthwith transmit to the Board all papers constituting the record upon which the appeal is taken. An appeal stays all the proceedings in furtherance of the action appealed from unless the official from whom the appeal was taken certifies to the Board, after the notice of appeal shall have 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 and property, in which case proceedings shall not be stayed otherwise than by a restraining order which may be granted by the Board, Circuit Court or other court of jurisdiction or notice on application to the official from whom the appeal was taken and on due cause shown.
