Sec. 9.1. Board has powers of Inspector on appeals; reversing decision of Inspector.

The Board shall hear and decide appeals where it is alleged there is error in any order, requirement, decision, or determination made by the Inspector in the enforcement of this ordinance. In exercising the above-mentioned powers, the Board may, so long as such action is in conformity with the terms of this ordinance, reverse or affirm, wholly or partly or may modify the order, requirement, decision, or determination appealed from and may make such order, requirement, decision, or determination as ought to be made, and to that end shall have the powers of the Inspector from whom the appeal is taken. The concurring vote of three members shall be necessary to reverse any order, requirement, decision, or determination of the Inspector.

The Board shall fix a reasonable time for the hearing of such appeal. It shall publish notice of the hearing at least once each week for two successive weeks prior to the date of such hearing in a newspaper of general circulation in the Town, the date of the first notice shall be at a minimum 14 days prior to the date of the hearing, shall give due notice to the applicant, abutting owners, and other parties in interest; and shall hear and decide the appeal within a reasonable time. Any party may appear at the hearing in person, by agent, or by attorney.
