Whenever an Enforcement Official declares a nuisance as defined by § 95A.104, he or she shall notify the property owner and any interested party in writing of the existence of the alleged nuisance and direct that it be abated. This notification, hereafter known as a notice to abate, shall detail the violations and include the date, time, and place of a nuisance abatement hearing. This nuisance abate hearing shall be held by no more than 20 days from the issuance of the notice to abate. At the hearing, a Hearing Officer will determine if a public nuisance exists. The format of the notice shall be available to the public upon request of the City Clerk. Other information, such as the owner's responsibility for administrative and incidental costs and expenses incurred in abating the nuisance, may be included in the notice to abate. This section shall not apply to § 95A.105 concerning emergency abatement.
