(A) Any person, who is adversely affected by the Hazard Abatement Notice specified in section 7-16-10 of this chapter, may appeal such Hazard Abatement Notice to the Hearing Officer within fifteen (15) calendar days of the postmark on the Hazard Abatement Notice by filing a written appeal with the Enforcement Officer. Timely appeal shall stay any further action for removal or abatement until the date set for hearing, unless the weeds, hazardous vegetation, waste or combustible material at issue presents an imminent fire hazard within one hundred feet (100') of any structure. The Enforcement Officer shall set the matter for hearing before the Hearing Officer, who shall be the City of Placerville City Manager or his designee. Any designee of the City Manager shall be someone not involved in any way in the issuance of the Hazard Abatement Notice. The Enforcement Officer shall notify the appellant by certified mail of the date and time set for such hearing, at least fifteen (15) days prior to said date. If the appellant resides outside the County of El Dorado, such Notice of Hearing shall be mailed to the appellant at least twenty (20) days prior to the date set for the hearing. The appellant shall have the right to appear in person or by agent, designated in writing, at the hearing, and present oral, written, and/or photographic evidence. The Hearing Officer shall issue its order denying or granting the appeal, which shall be in writing and be issued within fifteen (15) days of the date of the hearing. The decision of the Hearing Officer shall be final. Following the hearing notification deadline, the parcel shall be abated within seven (7) days. If abatement has not occurred within the seven (7) days, the City may abate the nuisance. (Ord. 1698, 8-13-2019)
