Procedure for appeals

a. Appeals to the zoning board of review may be taken by any person aggrieved, or by any officer, department, board or bureau affected by any decision of the zoning officer concerning the provisions of this ordinance. Such appeal shall be taken within 30 days as provided by the rules of the board, by filing with the zoning officer and with the board a notice of appeal, specifying the grounds for appeal.

b. The zoning officer shall forthwith transmit to the zoning board of review all the papers constituting the record upon which the action appealed from was taken. Notice of the appeal shall also be transmitted to the planning board.

c. An appeal shall stay all proceedings in furtherance of an action appealed from, unless the zoning officer certifies to the board, 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 be stayed only by a restraining order which may be granted by the board, or by a court of competent jurisdiction, on application therefor and upon notice to the zoning officer and for due cause shown.
