§ 2-04-08 — Appeals

1. Any 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 such administrative agency is an
improper application of airport zoning regulations of concern to such governing body or
board, may appeal to the board of adjustment authorized to hear and decide appeals
from the decisions of such administrative agency.
2. All appeals taken under this section must be taken within a reasonable time, as
provided by the rules of the board, a notice of appeal specifying the grounds thereof.
The agency from which the appeal is taken shall forthwith transmit to the board all the
papers constituting the record upon which the action appealed from was taken.
3. An appeal stays 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 would,
in its opinion, cause imminent peril to life or property. In such cases, proceedings may
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.

4. The board shall fix a reasonable time for the hearing of appeals, give public notice and
due notice to the parties in interest, and decide the same within a reasonable time.
Upon the hearing, any party may appear in person or by attorney.
5. The board may, in conformity with the provisions of this chapter, reverse or affirm
wholly or partly, or modify, the order, requirement, decision, or determination appealed
from and may make such order, requirement, decision, or determination as ought to be
made, and to that end has all the powers of the administrative agency from which the
appeal is taken.
