§ 410.050. Appeals To The Board., Chapter 410. Board of Adjustment, Land Use, Code of Ordinances, Warson Woods

Appeals to the Board of Adjustment 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 other than the Board of Adjustment, affected by any decision of the Building Commissioner. Such appeal shall be taken within a reasonable time, as shall be prescribed by the Board by general rule, by filing with the Building Commissioner and with the Board a notice of appeal and supporting documents specifying the grounds thereof in twelve (12) copies. The Building Commissioner shall forthwith transmit to the Board the papers constituting the record upon which the action appealed from is taken.

An appeal stays all proceedings in furtherance of the action appealed from, unless the Building Commissioner certifies to the Board after the notice of appeal shall have 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 a restraining order which may be granted by the Board, or by a Court of record on application or notice to the Building Commissioner on good cause shown.

The Board shall fix a reasonable time for the hearing of the appeal, give not less than fifteen (15) days public notice thereof, 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.

A fee of one hundred seventy-five dollars ($175.00) shall be paid to the Treasurer at the time the notice of appeal is filed to be credited to the General Revenue Fund of the City of Warson Woods. In addition, the petitioner shall pay for publishing Public Hearing notices, duplication costs and the transcription of the Public Hearing. Petitioner will be invoiced by the City after actual costs are determined.
