Where a board of county commissioners has adopted administrative regulations pursuant to various enabling sections of the Revised Code, such regulations may provide for an appeal or variance therefrom to a higher administrative authority, or board of appeals or variances, which authority or board is appointed by the board of county commissioners. The decisions of such higher authority or board of appeals or variances shall be considered, a "final order" as described in section 2506.01 of the Revised Code.
