the decision or action of the Zoning Administrator by submitting a written
appeal to the Planning Commission within 14 days of the decision or action
of the Zoning Administrator. The Planning Commission will act and render
a decision on this appeal within 45 days. If no appeal is made within 14
days, the decision or action of the Zoning Administrator shall stand.
2. Either the aggrieved person or the Zoning Administrator may appeal the
decision of the Planning Commission to the Board of Adjustments. Such
appeal must be made in writing to the Town Clerk within five (5) working
days of the rendering of the decision by the Planning Commission. When
such a notice of appeal has been submitted to the Town Clerk, it will be
brought before the Board of Adjustments at the Council's next regular
meeting as a regular agenda item, classified as new business. The Board
