§ 2.88.070. Effect of board actions—Appeals stay imposition of order.

A.

The board, after hearing the evidence presented, may sustain or modify the provisions of the order, depending upon its findings, so as to secure the intent and purposes of this chapter and Chapter 16.24. Whenever such findings are made that strict compliance with this subchapter or any order issued hereunder would impose undue or unreasonable hardship upon the owner or occupants of property affected, the board may modify the order and extend the time limit given in the order for compliance, and may further stipulate special conditions to be met by the owner as mandatory conditions to such extension of time or modification of the order. If the board sustains or modifies such order, it shall be deemed a final order unless appealed therefrom.

B.

No person or party in interest who has appealed the order of the director to the board in accordance to the provisions for appeal hereinabove set forth, shall be subject to any penalty for the violation of this chapter or Chapter 16.24 until the board has issued a final order sustaining or modifying the order of the director, with which final order the appellant refuses or fails to comply, and any appeal thereon is finally disposed of by a court of competent jurisdiction.
