(a) Right of appeal.--Any person aggrieved or taxpayer affected by any decision of the municipality or joint zoning hearing board may appeal to the board as provided by law.
(b) Stay of proceedings.--An appeal shall stay all proceedings in furtherance of the action appealed from unless the municipality or joint zoning hearing board 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 or notice to the municipality or joint zoning appeal board.
(c) Board of appeals.--All airport zoning regulations shall provide for a board to hear and decide appeals, special exceptions and requests for variances. Where a zoning board of appeals or adjustment already exists, it may be appointed as the board. Otherwise, the board shall consist of five members, each to be appointed for a term of three years by the authority adopting the regulations and to be removable by the appointing authority, for cause, upon written charges and after public hearing.
