A. Applications and/or appeals to the Board may be filed by any person aggrieved or affected by a decision or an interpretation by the Building Safety Administrator in enforcing the various technical codes adopted by the Town or to request a variance denied by the Building Safety Administrator.

B. Applications and appeals must be filed within thirty (30) days from the date the Building Safety Administrator decides not to grant the permit requested or makes a decision from which the appeal is taken. Any communication purporting to be an application or an appeal shall be deemed a mere notice of intention to file and shall not be deemed a filing to comply with the requirements of timely filing.

C. Applications and appeals shall be made on forms provided by the Board through the Building Safety Administrator and shall specify the nature of the matter. Copies of such forms are attached hereto, which by this reference are incorporated as part of these Rules of Procedure.

D. Each case shall be numbered serially and shall be the number of the last two digits of the year number plus the number of the case filed for that calendar year. Example for the third case filed in the year 1992: 92-3.

E. Materials and applications for the Board must be received at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the next Board meeting. A case may be heard out of order upon motion of a Board member.

F. Failure to supply the required information within the time indicated may be considered by the Board as a failure to comply with these Rules of Procedure and the case may be dismissed for failure of timely filing.

G. An appeal shall stay all proceedings in the matter appealed from unless the officer from whom the appeal is taken certifies to the Board, that by reason of the fact stated in the certificate, the stay could cause imminent peril to life or property. In such case, proceedings shall not be stayed, except by a restraining order granted by the Board or by a court of record on application and notice to the officer from whom the appeal is taken.
