Text: [¶ 10.] As to a decision by a board of adjustment made pursuant to SDCL 11-4-25 through 29, the question on review is whether an order of the board is supported by substantial evidence and is reasonable and not arbitrary.... In addition, we review in the same manner as the circuit court, unaided by any presumption of the correctness of the circuit court's determination. Olson v. City of Deadwood, 480 N.W.2d 770, 774, 775 (S.D.1992) (citations omitted). The facts in this case were stipulated. The only issue presented is whether the circuit court had the statutory authority to order removal of the building. We review questions of law de novo. Peters v. Spearfish ETJ Planning Comm'n, 1997 SD 105, ¶ 5, 567 N.W.2d 880, 883 (citations omitted).
