§
1015. Appeals to board of adjustment
(a) A person
aggrieved, or taxpayer affected, by any decision of an administrative agency
made in its administration of airport zoning regulations adopted under this
chapter, or any governing body of a political subdivision, or any joint airport
zoning board, which is of the opinion that a decision of the administrative
agency is an improper application of airport zoning regulations of concern to
the governing body or board, may appeal to the board of adjustment authorized
to hear and decide appeals from the decisions of the administrative agency.
(b) An appeal
taken under this section shall be taken within a reasonable time, as provided
by the rules of the board, by filing with the agency from which the appeal is
taken and with the board a notice of appeal specifying the grounds. The agency
from which the appeal is taken shall transmit to the board all the papers
constituting the record upon which the action appealed from was taken.
(c) An appeal
shall stay all proceedings in furtherance of the action appealed from, unless
the agency from which the appeal is taken certifies to the board, after the
notice of appeal has been filed with it, that by reason of the facts stated in
the certificate a stay in its opinion would cause imminent peril to life or
property. In such cases, proceedings shall not be stayed otherwise than by
order of the board on notice to the agency from which the appeal is taken and
on due cause shown.
(d) The board
shall fix a reasonable time for the hearing of appeals, give public notice and
notice to the parties in interest, and render a decision within a reasonable
time. Upon the hearing, any party may appear in person, by agent, or by
attorney.
(e) In
conformity with the provisions of this chapter, the board may reverse or
affirm, wholly or partly, or modify the order, requirement, decision, or
determination appealed from and make such order, requirement, decision, or
determination as required, and to that end shall have all the powers of the administrative
agency from which the appeal is taken. (Added 1985, No. 222 (Adj. Sess.), § 2.)
