The decision of the zoning administrator or any other officer charged with the responsibility of administering any part or all of this Ordinance may be the subject of appeal by any owner or other responsible person to the planning and zoning commission. Any such appeal shall be filed in writing within 30 days of the date of notice of such decision. Any such appeal shall be considered under the same procedures as applicable to decisions of the zoning administrator under any zoning ordinance in effect in the Village of Godfrey. Except as to signs which pose an immediate hazard or imminent danger to the public health or safety, an appeal shall act as a stay of the enforcement notice from which appeal is taken.

Any such appeal shall be filed in writing within 30 days of the date of notice of the decision being appealed. Any such appeal shall be considered by the board of trustees under the same procedures applicable to appeals under any zoning ordinance in effect in the Village of Godfrey, provided, that a two-thirds majority vote of the board of trustees shall be required to reverse the decision of the planning and zoning commission being appealed. No new or additional evidence shall be introduced on any appeal to the village board which shall base its decision on the record presented to the planning and zoning commission. Except as to signs which pose an immediate hazard or imminent danger to the public health or safety, an appeal to the village board of trustees shall act as a stay of an enforcement notice from which appeal is taken.
