[CC 1985 §42.750; Ord. No. 522-C §1, 6-17-2002]
A. Appeals
to the Board on any matter over which the Board is specifically granted
jurisdiction may be taken by any person aggrieved, by any neighborhood
organization as defined in Section 32.105, RSMo., representing such
person, or by an officer, department, any board or bureau of the City
of Canton affected by any decision of the Building Inspector. Such
appeal shall be taken within sixty (60) days of such decision by filing
with the City Clerk, the Building Inspector, and with the Board a
notice of appeal specifying the grounds thereof. The Building Inspector
shall forthwith transmit to the Board all the papers constituting
the record upon which the action appealed from is taken.
B. An
appeal stays all proceedings in furtherance of the action appealed
from, unless the Building Inspector certifies to the Board after the
notice of appeal has been filed with him/her that by reason of facts
stated in the certificate a stay would, in his/her opinion, cause
imminent peril to life or property. In such case, proceedings shall
not be stayed otherwise than by proper legal action.
C. The
Board shall fix a reasonable time for the hearing of the appeal, give
not less than fifteen (15) days' public notice thereof in a newspaper
of general circulation, as well as 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 attorney.
D. The party filing a notice of appeal to the Board shall pay at the
time of filing a fee of thirty-five dollars ($35.00) toward costs
of the appeal, and in addition shall be responsible for payment of
the actual cost of publication of the public notice of the date of
the hearing to be held on the appeal after the statement for the publication
costs has been received by the City from the newspaper making the
publication. The fee and reimbursement for publication costs shall
be paid to the City Clerk who shall give receipts therefor; and a
copy of the receipts shall be presented to the Board with the notice
of appeal as evidence that the fees and publication costs required
in the case have been paid. The fees collected by the City Clerk shall
be paid to the credit of the General Revenue Fund of the City, and
the publication costs shall be paid directly to the newspaper performing
the publication of the notice.
