All such requests shall be in writing and shall set forth the reasons or grounds upon which the request is made.

In the event of a reoccurring violation, said owner(s) shall have ten (10) calendar days from the date of mailing of the notice or posting of the property, as applicable, to request that the county manager, or designee, reconsider the county's contemplated action based upon an assertion that the lot is not in violation, the person reflected on the latest tax roll to whom the notice was addressed is not the actual owner, or the lot is exempt. All such requests shall be in writing and shall set forth the reasons or grounds upon which the request is made.
