Sec. 21. Board of zoning appeals; cost of appeals.
A board of zoning appeals is hereby established. It shall consist
of five members to be appointed, and exercise such powers as
provided by the laws of the state.
In addition to the requirements of the state law relative to an
appeal from a decision of the building inspector to the board of
zoning appeals, every such appellant, before delivering a notice of
appeal to said board, shall deposit the sum of ten dollars as costs
with the director of finance, who shall note on said notice that the
deposit required has been paid.
Should the decision of the building inspector on appeal be sustained
by the board, said deposit shall be paid into the city treasury,
but should the decision of the inspector be reversed, in whole
or in part, said deposit shall be returned to the appellant.
Each member of the board of zoning appeals shall be allowed a
fee of two dollars for each appeal considered and heard by such
member, which shall be paid by the city treasurer upon presentation
of proper voucher, after being approved by the director of
finance. (Code 1932, § 495(22); Ord. March 29, 1939.)
For provisions of state law as to board of zoning appeals, see §
3071(7) et seq. of Michie's Virginia Code of 1942.
