The order shall be delivered by personal service unless the owner or operator cannot be found within the city, in which event notice shall be by ordinary mail addressed to the owner's or operator's last known address and by posting a copy of the notice in a conspicuous place upon the premises of the FSE.
(B) Operation of the FSE shall cease on the date stated in the order and shall not recommence without the prior written approval of the WRA Director.
(C) The applicant may make a written request to the Director for a reconsideration and hearing on the cease and desist order within ten days from the issuance of the order; provided, however, that operation of the FSE shall cease pending the outcome of the hearing.
(D) The owner's or operator's request for hearing shall identify the appealing party, include the address of the person requesting the hearing and to which all further notices shall be mailed or served, and shall state the basis for the appeal.
(E) The hearing shall be scheduled to be held as soon as practicable and no later than 14 days after the request for hearing was filed with the WRA Director. The person requesting the hearing shall be notified in writing or by telephone of the date and place of the hearing at least three days in advance thereof. At the hearing, the Director and the person requesting the hearing may be represented by counsel, examine witnesses and present evidence as necessary.
(F) The determination by the Director or by that the violation occurred shall be considered a final administrative decision, unless appealed to the WRA.
