(B) A person responsible, protesting that no nuisance exists, shall file with the City Recorder a written statement that specifies the basis for so protesting.
(C) (1) The statement shall be referred to the Council as a part of its regular agenda at its next succeeding meeting.
(2) At the time set for consideration of the abatement, the person protesting may appear and be heard by the Council. The Council shall determine whether or not a nuisance exists, or whether abatement of any nuisance will work a hardship on the property owner or person in charge of property out of proportion to the benefit to the public.
(3) Council determinations shall be required only in those cases where a written statement has been filed as provided.
(D) If the Council determines that a nuisance does exist and that abatement will not work an unreasonable hardship, the person responsible shall abate the nuisance within ten days after the Council determination, or within such other time limit as may be set by the Council.
