The registered or legal owner of the vehicle or the owner of the land on which the vehicle is located may request a hearing on the question of abatementand removal of the abandoned, wrecked, dismantled, or inoperative vehicle and on the question of assessment of the administrative costs and cost of removal against the property on which it is located. The request for a hearing shall be in writing and shall be filed with the City Manager, or designee, not more than ten days after the date on which the notice of intention described in § 7.29.080 of this chapter was mailed by the City Manager, or designee. If the owner of the land on which the vehicle is located files with the City Manager, or designee, a sworn statement denying responsibility for the presence of the vehicle on his or her land within the ten-day period, the statement shall be construed as a request for a hearing which does not require the presence of the owner submitting the request.
