1. Any petitioner aggrieved by an order of
the board of adjustment granting or denying, in whole or in part, the relief
sought, the supervisors of the district or districts, the Commission or any
intervening party may obtain a review of such order in district court, by
filing in such court a petition praying that the order of the board of
adjustment be modified or set aside.
2. A copy of such petition shall forthwith
be served upon the parties to the hearing before the board of adjustment, and
thereupon the party seeking review shall file in the court a transcript of the
entire record in the proceedings, certified by the board of adjustment,
including the documents and testimony upon which the order complained of was
entered, and the findings, determination and order of the board of adjustment.
3. Upon such filing, the court shall cause
notice thereof to be served upon the parties and shall have jurisdiction of the
proceedings and of the questions determined or to be determined therein, and
shall have power to grant such temporary relief as it deems just and proper,
and to make and enter a decree enforcing, modifying and enforcing as so
modified, or setting aside, in whole or in part, the order of the board of
adjustment.
4. No contention that has not been urged
before the board of adjustment shall be considered by the court unless the
failure or neglect to urge such contention shall be excused because of
extraordinary circumstances.
5. The findings of the board of adjustment
as to the facts, if supported by evidence, shall be conclusive.
6. If any party shall apply to the court
for leave to produce additional evidence and shall show to the satisfaction of
the court that such evidence is material and that there were reasonable grounds
for the failure to produce such evidence in the hearing before the board of
adjustment, the court may order such additional evidence to be taken before the
board of adjustment and to be made a part of the transcript. The board of
adjustment may modify its findings as to the facts or make new findings, taking
into consideration the additional evidence so taken and filed, and the board of
adjustment shall file such modified or new findings, which, if supported by
evidence, shall be conclusive, and shall file with the court its
recommendations, if any, for the modification or setting aside of its original
order.
7. The jurisdiction of the court shall be
exclusive and its judgment and decree shall be final, except that the same
shall be subject to review in the same manner as are other judgments or decrees
of the court.
