When a sign is erected illegally without proper review, approval or permit, or when, in the opinion of the administrator, a violation of the general sign regulations exists, the administrator shall identify and attempt to notify the alleged violator in writing of the need to correct or remove said violation within ten (10) days, or make appeal of the administrator's determination in writing to the city manager within that same period. Any pending enforcement action will be held in abeyance during this period, and if an appeal is received, until such appeal is resolved. (Ord. 2813, 10-20-1997)
