Stay of Proceedings

An appeal of a decision of the zoning officer or other authorized agency shall stay all proceedings in furtherance of the action appealed from, unless the zoning officer or agency from whom the appeal is taken certifies to the zoning board of review, after an appeal shall have been duly filed, that by reason of facts stated on the certificate a stay would in the officer's or agency's opinion cause imminent peril to life or property.  In such case, proceedings shall not be stayed other than by a restraining order which may be granted by a court of competent jurisdiction on application thereof and upon notice to the officer or agency from whom the appeal is taken on due cause shown.
