(A) The Vehicle Abatement Hearing Officer may impose such conditions and take such other action as he or she deems appropriate under the circumstances to carry out the purpose of this chapter. He or she may delay the time for removal upon the conclusion of the public hearing. The Vehicle Abatement Hearing Officer may find that a vehicle, or parts thereof, has been abandoned, wrecked, dismantled or is inoperative on private or public property and issue an Order to Abate requiring that the vehicle and, if applicable parts thereof, be removed from the property as a public nuisance and disposed of as hereinafter provided and determine the abatement costs to be charged against the real property owner. The Order to Abate requiring removal shall include a description of the vehicle or parts thereof and the correct identification number and license number of the vehicle, if available at the site.
(B) If it is determined at the hearing that the vehicle was placed on the property without the consent of the real property owner and that he or she has not subsequently acquiesced in its presence, the Vehicle Abatement Hearing Officer shall not assess the costs of administration or removal of the vehicle against the real property upon which the vehicle is located or otherwise attempt to collect such costs from such real property owner.
(C) If the real property owner submits a sworn written statement denying responsibility for the presence of the vehicle on his or her property but does not appear or if an interested party makes a written presentation to the Vehicle Abatement Hearing Officer but does not appear, then he or she shall be notified of the decision by the Hearing Officer as outlined in Chapter 95A.
