§ 15-1-607 — Board of adjustment; appeals to board; grounds; how conducted; stay of proceedings

(a) Any aggrieved person or any officer, department, board
or bureau of the city or town affected by any decision of the
administrative officer may appeal to the board. Appeals shall
be taken within a reasonable time as provided by the rules of
the board by filing with the officer from whom the appeal is
taken and with the board a notice of appeal specifying the
grounds therefor. The officer from whom the appeal is taken
shall immediately transmit to the board the complete record of
the action from which the appeal is taken.
(b) An appeal stays all proceedings in furtherance of the
action appealed from, unless the officer from whom the appeal is
taken certifies to the board that by reason of facts stated in
the certificate a stay, in his opinion, would cause imminent
peril to life or property. In such cases proceedings shall not
be stayed other than by a restraining order granted by the
district court for the district, or a judge thereof, on notice
to the officer from whom the appeal is taken, and on due cause
shown.
