Within thirty days after the service of such notice of appeal, the board of supervisors of the township shall cause to be filed with the clerk of courts a transcript of the proceedings of such board relative to the decision, order, or resolution being appealed, which transcript shall be certified to by the township clerk as being correct. The issue shall be deemed to have been joined from the time of filing of such transcript and the matter may be brought on for trial in the same manner as provided for in civil cases. If the issues do not sufficiently appear from the notice of appeal and such transcript, the court may, upon notice to the parties, settle and frame the issues to be tried.
