B.  An aggrieved party appealing a decision or violation notice shall complete a form provided by the clerk of the zoning board of review. A copy of the decision or violation notice shall be filed with the appeal.

C.  The zoning enforcement officer shall immediately transmit to the zoning board of review all of the documents constituting the record upon which the action appealed from was taken. The zoning board of review clerk shall transmit notice of the appeal to the planning board.

D.  An appeal shall stay all proceedings in furtherance of the action appealed from, unless the zoning enforcement officer submits a certified statement to the zoning board of review that because of facts stated, a stay would in the officer’s opinion cause imminent peril to life or property. In that case, proceedings shall not be stayed other than by a restraining order issued by the superior court, after notice to the zoning enforcement officer.
