Syllabus

APPELLATE REVIEW/CIVIL — ADMINISTRATIVE — ZONING — R.C. 2506.04 — APP.R. 16: In an administrative zoning appeal, it is the appellant's burden to set forth arguments in compliance with App.R. 16(A)(7) that demonstrate error by the court of common pleas that is reviewable by the appellate court under R.C. 2506.04. The record does not show that the trial court failed to conduct an independent review of the evidence where the trial court expressly stated that it reviewed the administrative transcript and the additional evidence filed by the appellants, and there is nothing contradictory in the record. The appellants failed to demonstrate error in the trial court's decision where they failed to cite to the record in support of their argument. The appellants failed to establish an improper administrative search where they failed to cite to the record in support of their argument, and did not identify the precise incident from which they claimed an improper search. The appellants failed to establish a \misapplication of the zoning laws\ where they failed to identify any zoning provision that was misapplied. The appellants failed to establish error in the trial court's decision where they argue noncompliance with a zoning provision that is inapplicable to the cause before the court.
