(b)

All appeals hereunder must be taken within a reasonable time as provided by the rules of the board of appeals, by filing with the administrative agency a notice of appeal specifying the grounds thereof. The administrative agency shall forthwith transmit to the board of appeals 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 administrative agency 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 case, proceedings shall not be stayed except by order of the board on notice to the agency from which the appeal is taken and on due cause shown.

(d)

The board of appeals shall fix a reasonable time for hearing 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 agent or by an attorney.

The board of appeals may, in conformity with the provisions of this article, reverse or affirm, in whole or in part, or modify the order, requirement, decision or determination appealed from, and may make such order, requirement, decision or determination as may be appropriate under the circumstances.
