of this Borough affected by any decision of the Zoning Inspector.
A. Manner of appeal. An appeal shall be taken within

give personal notice to all owners of property situate within or without
the municipality, as shown by the most recent tax lists of the municipality
or municipalities, whose property or properties as shown by said lists
are located within 200 feet of the property to be affected by said
appeal. Such notice shall be given either by handing a copy thereof
to said property owners or by leaving a copy thereof at their usual
place of abode, if said owners are the occupants of the property affected
by such appeal or are residents of the municipality in which said
property is located. Whenever said owners are nonresidents of said
municipality, such notice may be given by sending written notice thereof
by registered mail to the last known address of the property owner
or owners as shown by the most recent tax lists of said municipality.
Where the owner is a partnership, service upon any partner as provided
