(A) An appeal from any decision of a city official pursuant to this chapter shall be made to the city council by filing a written appeal with the city clerk within thirty (30) days following the decision which is being appealed; provided, however, that if the notice of appeal is accompanied by a cash bond or letter of credit in a form satisfactory to the city attorney and the city treasurer in an amount equal to the development fee calculated to be due, a building permit may be issued to the new development. The filing of an appeal shall not stay the imposition of the collection of the development fee as calculated by the city unless a cash bond or other sufficient surety has been provided.

(B) The burden of proof shall be on the appellant to demonstrate that the decision of the city is erroneous.

(C) All appeals shall detail the specific grounds therefor and all other relevant information and shall be filed on a form provided by the city for such purposes. (Ord. No. 2008-15, 12-16-08; Ord. No. 2008-15, 5-19-09. 1976 Code § 7-7-6)
