Appeals to the Zoning Board of Review.

§ 255-4130. Appeals to the Zoning Board of Review.

• A. An appeal to the Board from a decision of the ZEO in the enforcement of this chapter may be taken by any person, officer, department or board of the Town or state aggrieved or affected by such decision or other action taken by the ZEO. Any appeal must be taken within thirty (30) days of the recording of the decision or action by the Building Inspector or the ZEO by filing a notice of appeal with the Clerk for the Zoning Board of Review setting forth the grounds for or reasons of appeal. The Building Inspector or the ZEO shall transmit to the Board all the records upon which the decision or action was based. Any appeal to the Board shall stay all actions or proceedings, including penalties and fines, in furtherance of the decision or action appealed from, unless the Building Inspector or ZEO certifies to the Board that a stay would cause imminent peril to life, life safety or property. In such a case, proceedings shall not be stayed other than by a restraining order granted by a Court of competent jurisdiction.

• B. In exercising its powers the Board may reverse or affirm, in whole or in part, and may modify the order, requirement, decision, or determination appealed from and may make such orders, requirements, decisions, or determinations as ought to be made, and, to that end, shall have the powers of the officer from whom the appeal was taken. All decisions and records of the Board respecting appeals shall conform to the provisions of Code § 255-430E.
