If known, or with reasonable care should be known, the notice shall be mailed to or delivered to the owner of the sign and the occupant of the property.
(D) Any person having an interest in the sign or the property may appeal the determination of the Administrator ordering removal or compliance by filing a written notice of appeal with the Sign Board of Appeals within 30 days after the date of mailing the notice, or 30 days after receipt of the notice if the notice was not mailed.
