1. Appeals. To hear and decide where it is alleged there is an error in any order, requirement, decision, or determination made by the Zoning Administrator in the enforcement of these Regulations.

a. Appeals to the Board may be taken by the person aggrieved, or by any officer, department, or bureau of the government affected by any decision of the Zoning Administrator. Such appeal shall be taken within a reasonable time, as shall be prescribed by the Board by general rule, by filing with the Zoning Administrator and with the Secretary of the Board a notice of appeal specifying the grounds thereof. The Zoning Administrator shall forthwith transmit to the Secretary of the Board all papers constituting the record upon which the action appealed is taken.

b. An appeal stays all proceedings in furtherance of the action appealed, unless the Zoning Administrator 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 immediate peril to life or property. In such case, proceedings shall not be stayed otherwise than by a restraining order which may be granted by the Board, or by a court of record on application or notice to the Zoning Administrator of good cause shown.

 

An application for an appeal shall be filed within sixty (60) days after a ruling has been made by the Planning and Zoning Administrator.

1. A copy of the order, requirement, decision, or determination of the Planning and Zoning Administrator which the appellant believes to be in error.
2. A clear and accurate written description of the proposed use, work, or action in which the appeal is involved and a statement justifying the appellant's position.
3. Where necessary, a plot plan, drawn to scale, shall be submitted in duplicate showing existing and proposed plans for the area in question.

Any person, persons, department, or departments of the government jointly or separately aggrieved by any decision of the Board of Zoning Adjustment may present to the Associate Circuit Court of Stone County, Missouri, a petition, duly verified, stating that such decision is illegal in whole or in part, specifying the grounds of the illegality, and asking for relief therefrom. Such petition shall be presented to the Court within thirty (30) days after the date of filing the decision in the office of the Board of Zoning Adjustment.
