If an artificial obstruction is found within the wetland conservation area, an order shall be issued to the owner of the parcel, following ten days written notice and hearing thereon, for removal within a reasonable time as may be prescribed by the condition and type of artificial obstruction. If the owner shall fail to remove the artificial obstruction, or if the owner cannot be found or determined, the city shall have the power to make or cause the removal to be made, the cost of which shall be borne by the owner or specially assessed against the lands in the same manner as prescribed by law for the levy of special assessments for municipal improvements, notwithstanding § 1102.07 herein. The special assessment shall be certified to the County Auditor for collection in the same manner as the ad valorem real property taxes of the city.
