A. Conduct Of Hearing; Decision: At the written request of an owner, occupant or other person having an interest in property which is the subject of a notice to remove or abate weeds, objectionable conditions or objects from the property, the governing body shall conduct a hearing wherein such persons may present such evidence and argument as is pertinent to the question of whether or not the removal or abatement of the objects or conditions is properly within the purview of this chapter. The governing body shall also permit the presentation of evidence and argument by the inspector and other interested parties. Thereafter, within not less than five (5) nor more than ten (10) days, the governing body shall, over the signature of the mayor or such other member of the governing body as it may designate, render its written decision, a copy of which shall be mailed to or served upon the owner or other person to whom the original notice was given by the inspector.
B. Determination Of Inspector Upheld: In the event the decision of the governing body upholds the determination of the inspector, the notice originally given by the inspector as above provided shall be deemed to be sufficient to require the owner or occupant to remove or abate the objectionable objects or conditions, and he shall have up to ten (10) days from the date of notice of the decision within which to conform thereto, unless additional time, not to exceed thirty (30) days, is authorized by the inspector.
C. Modified Determination: In the event that the decision of the governing body either overrules or modifies the determination of the inspector, the written decision of the governing body shall apprise the owner or occupant of that fact and set forth the details and extent to which the owner or occupant must make removal or other abatement of the objectionable objects or conditions, if any. The owner or occupant shall be required to conform to the decision of the governing body within ten (10) days after service or mailing of a copy of the decision, and the decision shall be deemed to be the modified decision of the inspector unless additional time is authorized by the governing body.
