An appeal shall stay all proceedings in furtherance of the action appealed from unless the Zoning Administrator shall certify to the Board of Adjustment that such stay will cause imminent peril to life or property, in which case such proceedings shall not be stayed otherwise than by a restraining order which may be granted by the Board of Adjustment or a court of record. 5. EFFECT OF THE DENIAL OF AN APPEAL BY THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT.
