Any person ordered to abate a nuisance may have a hearing with the President or his or her designated representative ordering the abatement. A request for a hearing must be made in writing and delivered to the Village Clerk within the time stated in the notice; otherwise, it will be presumed that a nuisance exists, and that such nuisance must be abated as ordered. The hearing shall not be a formal trial-type proceeding, but appropriate procedural safeguards shall be observed to ensure fairness. At the conclusion of the hearing, the President or his or her designated representative shall render his or her decision and the reasons therefor in writing. If he or she finds that a nuisance exists, he or she shall order it abated within an additional time which must be reasonable under the circumstances.
