If the sign is not removed within this prescribed period of time, the Village may remove the sign at the expense of the property owner and permit holder.
(C) Within 30 days following receipt of the written notice referred to in division (B) above, the permit holder or the property owner may appeal the decision to remove the sign to the Zoning Board of Appeals by filing a written notice with the Zoning Administrator.
