§ 96.0. Procedure for appeal of the decision of the Administrative Officer to the Zoning Board of Adjustment.

Procedure for Appeal of the Decision of the Administrative Officer to the Zoning Board of Adjustment concerning interpretation or administration of this Ordinance or for Variance under this Ordinance may be taken by an person aggrieved or by an officer, agency, or bureau of the City of Russellville affected by any decision of the Administrative Officer. Such appeals shall be taken with a reasonable time, not exceed thirty (30) days. The Administrative Officer shall forthwith transmit to the Board all papers constituting the record upon which the action appealed from was taken.

The Board of Adjustment shall fix a reasonable time for the hearing of the appeal, give public notice thereof, as well as due notice to the parties in interest, and decide the same within a reasonable time.

An appeal stays all proceedings in furtherance of the action appealed from, unless the Administrative Officer certified to the Board of Adjustment after the notice of appeal shall have been filed with him, that by reason of facts stated in the certificate a state would, in his opinion, cause imminent peril to life and property. In such case, proceedings shall not be stayed otherwise than by a restraining order which may be granted by the Zoning Board of Adjustment or by a court of record on application, on notice the Administrative Officer and on due cause shown.
