(2) If either party applies to the court for leave to adduce additional evidence and shows to the satisfaction of the court that the additional evidence is material and that there were reasonable grounds for the failure to adduce the evidence in the hearing before the board, the court may order the additional evidence to be taken before the board, and to be made a part of the record.
(3) The board may modify its findings as to the facts, or make new findings, by reason of additional evidence so taken and filed, and it shall file modified or new findings.
