(a) Interpretation.
Appeals to the board of adjustment concerning interpretation or administration of this article may be taken by any person aggrieved or by any officer, agency, department or commission of the city affected by any decision of the administrative official. An appeal must be taken within 10 business days of the date the decision has been rendered by filing with the administrative official from whom the appeal is taken, and with the board of adjustment a notice of appeal specifying the grounds for appeal. The administrative official shall forthwith transmit to the board all papers constituting the record upon which the action appealed from was taken.

(b) Stay of proceedings.
An appeal stays all proceedings in furtherance of the action appealed from, unless the administrative official from whom the appeal is taken certifies to the board of adjustment after the notice of appeal is filed with him that, by reason of facts stated in the certificate, a stay would, in his opinion, cause imminent peril to life and property. In such case, proceedings shall not be stayed other than by a restraining order which may be granted by a court of record on application, and on due cause shown.
