Appeal from a decision of zoning board of review

Any person or persons, jointly or severally aggrieved by any decision of the board, or any officer, department, board or bureau of the Town of Warren may present an appeal to the Superior Court of the State of Rhode Island as provided by the General Laws of Rhode Island 1956, Title 45, Chapter 24, Section 20. The aggrieved party must file a complaint setting forth the reasons of appeal within twenty (20) days after the decision has been recorded and posted in the town hall. The zoning board of review shall file the original documents acted upon by it and constituting the record of the case appealed from, or certified copies thereof, including the transcript if possible, together with such other facts as may be pertinent, with the clerk of the court within thirty (30) days after being served with a copy of the complaint. When the complaint is filed by someone other than the original applicant or appellant, the original applicant or appellant and the members of the zoning board shall be made parties to the proceedings. The appeal shall not stay proceedings upon the decision appealed from, but the court may, in its discretion, grant a stay on appropriate terms and make such other orders as it deems necessary for an equitable disposition of the appeal.
