(620 ILCS 25/29) (from Ch. 15 1/2, par. 48.29)
Sec. 29.
Appeals.
In cases where airport zoning regulations are adopted by a political
subdivision or joint airport zoning board under either Sections 13, 14 or
15, any person, including the Department on behalf of the State,
aggrieved by any decision of an administrative agency made in its
administration of airport zoning regulations adopted under this Act, or
any governing body of a political subdivision, or any joint airport zoning
board, which is of the opinion that a decision of such an administrative
agency is an improper application of airport zoning regulations of concern
to such governing body or board, may appeal to the Board of Appeals
authorized to hear and decide appeals from the decisions of such
administrative agency.
All appeals taken under this Section must be taken within a reasonable
time, as provided by the rules of the Board, by filing with the agency from
which the appeal is taken and with the Board, a notice of appeal specifying
the grounds thereof. The agency from which the appeal is taken shall
forthwith transmit to the Board all the papers constituting the record upon
which the action appealed from was taken.
An appeal shall stay all proceedings in furtherance of the action
appealed from, unless the agency from which the appeal is taken certifies
to the Board, after the notice of appeal has been filed with it, that by
reason of the facts stated in the certificate a stay would, in its opinion,
cause imminent peril to life or property. In such cases, proceedings shall
not be stayed otherwise than by order of the Board on notice to the agency
from which the appeal is taken and on due cause shown.
The Board shall fix a reasonable time for the hearing of appeals, give
public notice and 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.
The Board may, in conformity with the provisions of this Act, reverse or
affirm, wholly or partly, or modify, the order, requirement, decision, or
determination appealed from and may make such order, requirement, decision,
or determination as ought to be made, and to that end shall have all the
powers of the administrative agency from which the appeal is taken.
In all cases in which the Department has adopted airport zoning
regulations under Section 17, any person, other than the Department,
aggrieved by any decision of the Department made in the administration of
such airport zoning regulation, or any governing body of a political
subdivision, or any joint airport zoning board, which is of the opinion
that a decision of the Department is an improper application of airport
zoning regulations of concern to such governing body or board, may apply to
the Department to reverse, wholly or partly, or modify, or otherwise
change, abrogate or rescind any such decision, pursuant to rules, rulings,
regulations, orders and decisions in connection therewith which may be
prescribed by the Department. To the extent practicable, the procedure
prescribed in this Section for proceedings before Boards of Appeal shall
govern applications to the Department to reverse, wholly or partly, or
modify, or otherwise amend, change, abrogate or rescind any such decision.
