The owner of the land on which the vehicle is located may appear in person at the hearing or present a sworn written statement denying responsibility for the presence of the vehicle on the land, with his reasons for such denial. If the city manager or his delegate determines at the hearing that the vehicle was placed on the land without the consent of the landowner and that he has not subsequently acquiesced in its presence, then the costs of administration or removal of the vehicle shall not be assessed against the property upon which the vehicle is located, or otherwise attempted to be collected from such owner.
