If, within ten days from the mailing of the notice of intention to abate and remove the vehicle, the owner of the vehicle or the owner of the land on which such vehicle is located requests a hearing in writing to the city manager or his delegate, or if the owner of the land on which the vehicle is located submits a sworn written statement denying responsibility for the presence of the vehicle on his land within such time period, in which case said statement shall be construed as a request for hearing which does not require the presence of the owner submitting such request, the city manager or his delegate shall hold a hearing within thirty days of the receipt of such request or sworn written statement. If such request or sworn written statement is not received within such period, the city manager or his delegate shall have the authority to remove the vehicle as provided in this chapter.
