A. The hearing officer may impose such conditions and take such other action as the hearing officer deems appropriate under the circumstances to carry out the purpose of this Chapter. The hearing officer may delay the time for removal of the vehicle or part thereof if, in the hearing officer's opinion, the circumstances justify it. At the conclusion of the public hearing, the hearing officer may find that a vehicle or part thereof has been abandoned, wrecked, dismantled, or is inoperative on private or public property, and may order the same removed from the property as a public nuisance and disposed of as hereinafter provided, and may determine the administrative costs and the cost of removal to be charged against the owner of the parcel of land on which the vehicle or part thereof is located. The order requiring removal shall include a description of the vehicle or part thereof and the correct identification number and license number of the vehicle if available at the site.
B. If it is determined at the hearing that the vehicle was placed on the land without the consent of the land owner and that he has not subsequently acquiesced in its presence, the hearing officer shall not assess costs of administration or removal of the vehicle against the property upon which the vehicle is located or otherwise attempt to collect such costs from such landowner.
C. The decision of the hearing officer in an appeal under Chapter 9.94 of this Code is final.
