(A) Any person ordered to abate a nuisance may have request a hearing with the Town Marshal who shall determine whether or not reasonable cause exists to conclude that the nuisance charged does exist. A request for a hearing must be made in writing and delivered to the office of the Town Marshal within three days of the date of the notice, not counting Saturdays and Sundays. If the Town Marshal confirms that a nuisance does exist, the time period allowed for its abatement shall be extended by the number of calendar days elapsed between the date of the original notice and the date of the Town Marshal’s decision. If the Town Marshal determines that a nuisance does not exist, the original notice shall be dismissed. If a hearing is not requested or it will be conclusively presumed that a nuisance exists, that must be abated as ordered.
(B) At the conclusion of the hearing, the Town Marshal shall render the decision in writing. If the Town Marshal confirms the existence of the nuisance charged, it shall be abated as ordered within such reasonable additional time as the Town Marshal may allow.
