(A) This section applies to all appeals except those concerning abatement by the county of situations dangerous or prejudicial to the public health which are discussed in § 50.083. Any person aggrieved by a final decision of the Stormwater Administrator, including, but not limited to, the issuance of a notice of violation, denial of a permit, or the assessment of civil penalties, may appeal that decision to the County Manager. Such appeals shall be in writing, signed by the appealing party(ies) and shall identify with specificity the final decision being appealed, the date they received notice of that decision, and contain a detailed statement of the reason or basis for the appeal. All appeals shall be filed with the office of the County Manager within 15 days of receiving final notice of the Stormwater Administrator’s decision. The time period for appeal from a decision of the Stormwater Administrator denying a permit will commence to run from the date of receipt of written notification of such denial. The time period for all other appeals from the Stormwater Administrator will commence to run from the date of receipt of the final notice of violation. A hearing on an appeal to the County Manager will take place within ten working days of the date of filing of the notice of appeal.
(B) Any party(ies) not satisfied with the decision of the County Manager may appeal his or her decision to the Board of County Commissioners. Such appeals shall be filed with the Clerk to the Board of Commissioners within 15 days of receiving written notice of the County Manager’s decision. All appeals must be in writing, signed by the appealing party(ies), and shall identify with specificity the final decision being appealed, the date they received notice of that decision, and contain a detailed statement of the reason or basis for the appeal.
