A hearing shall be held before the City Manager upon a written request therefore filed with the City Clerk by the owner of the vehicle or part or parts thereof or by the owner of the land on which such vehicle or part or parts thereof is located, within ten days after the mailing of the notice of intention to abate and remove the vehicle or part or parts thereof as required by this chapter. If the owner of the land on which the vehicle or part or parts thereof is located files with the City Clerk, a sworn written statement denying responsibility for the presence of the vehicle on his land within such time period, his statement shall be construed as a request for a hearing by the City Manager which does not require the presence of the owner submitting such request. If no request for a hearing is received within such period, no hearing shall be required and the Chief of Police shall have the authority to remove the vehicle or part or parts thereof without further notice. Upon any such request being so filed within such time period, the City Clerk shall set the question of abatement and removal of the vehicle or part or parts thereof and the assessment of the administrative costs and the cost of removal for a hearing before the City Manager and mail, by certified mail, to the person requesting such hearing a notice of the time and place thereof not less than ten days before the date set for such hearing.
