The owner of the property on which the vehicle is located may appear in person at the hearing or present a written statement in time for consideration at the hearing, and deny responsibility for the presence of the vehicle on the land, with his or her reasons for the denial. If it is determined at the hearing that the vehicle was placed on the land without the consent of the landowner and that he or she has not subsequently acquiesced in its presence, the cost of administration or removal of the vehicle shall not be assessed against the property upon which the vehicle is located, nor can the costs be collected from the property owner. (Ord. 792 § 1, 1995).
