(A) Whenever the enforcing agency determines that there are reasonable grounds to believe that there has been a violation of any provision of this chapter, the enforcing agency shall give notice of such alleged violation to the person to whom the permit or license was issued, as hereinafter provided. Such notice shall:
1. Be in writing;
2. Include a statement of the reasons for its issuance;
3. Allow a reasonable time for the performance of any act it requires;
4. Be served upon the owner or his agent, as the case may require; provided, that such notice or order shall be deemed to have been properly served upon such owner or agent when a copy thereof has been sent by registered mail to his last known address, or when he has been served with such notice by any method authorized or required by the laws of this state;
5. Contain an outline of remedial action which, if taken, will effect compliance with the provisions of this chapter.
(B) Any person affected by any notice which has been issued in connection with the enforcement of any provision of this chapter may request and shall be granted a hearing on the matter before the enforcing agency; provided, that such person shall file in the office of the enforcing agency a written petition requesting such hearing and setting forth a brief statement of the grounds therefor within ten (10) days after the notice was served. The filing of the request for a hearing shall operate as a stay of the notice and of the suspension except in the case of an order issued under subsection (D) of this section. Upon receipt of such petition, the enforcing agency shall set a time and place for such hearing and shall give the petitioner written notice thereof. At such hearing the petitioner shall be given an opportunity to be heard and to show why such notice should be modified or withdrawn. The hearing shall be commenced not later than ten (10) days after the day on which the petition was filed; provided, that upon application of the petitioner the enforcing agency may postpone the date of the hearing for a reasonable time beyond such ten (10) day period when in the agency's judgment the petitioner has submitted good and sufficient reasons for such postponement.
(C) After such hearing the enforcing agency shall make findings as to compliance with the provisions of this title and shall issue an order in writing sustaining, modifying or withdrawing the notice which shall be served as provided in subsection (A)4 of this section. Upon failure to comply with any order sustaining, modifying or withdrawing a notice, the license of the mobile home development affected by the order shall be revoked.
(D) Whenever the enforcing agency finds that an emergency exists which requires immediate action to protect the public health, the agency may, without notice or hearing, issue an order reciting the existence of such an emergency and requiring that such action be taken as may be deemed necessary to meet the emergency including the suspension of the permit or license. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this title, such order shall be effective immediately. Any person to whom such an order is directed shall comply therewith immediately, but upon petition to the enforcing agency shall be afforded a hearing as soon as possible. The provisions of subsection (C) of this section shall be applicable to such hearing and the order issued thereafter. (Ord. 45, 3-19-1973)
