(A) At any time before the expiration of the 15 day abatement period described in § 94.03, the respondent may request a hearing before the Town Manager to appeal the finding of the Land Use Administrator that a public nuisance as defined in this chapter exists on the premises. Upon completion of the hearing, the Town Manager shall consider the evidence before him or her and shall, within seven days, either revoke the initial order, issue a final order which differs from the initial order, or reinstate the initial order as a final abatement order.
(B) If the town has caused the abatement of a severe nuisance as defined in § 94.02(B), at any time within 30 days of the owner's receipt of a statement of charges from the town for the removal of the conditions, the property owner may request a hearing before the Town Manager to appeal the charges and the finding of the Land Use Administrator that a severe nuisance existed on the premises right-of-way. Upon completion of the hearing, the Town Manager shall consider the evidence before him or her and shall, within seven days, either uphold, modify or revoke the charges resulting from the abatement by the town.
(C) Any request for a hearing pursuant to this section must be in writing and must be filed in the office of the Town Manager. The Town Manager shall fix a time for the hearing, and the initial abatement order or the accrual of interest on the statement of charges shall be temporarily suspended pending such hearing. The hearing must be held by the Town Manager within 31 calendar days following the receipt of the request for a hearing by the office of the Town Manager. At the hearing, the individual affected by the order shall be given the opportunity to present evidence to refute the findings that supported the abatement order or the removal of the nuisance condition.
