(a) Any person refused approval, receiving a notice of violation, or who feels aggrieved by application of this subchapter, may request and shall be granted an informal administrative hearing on the matter before the director of the department or his or her duly authorized representative. Such person shall file with the department a written petition requesting a hearing which sets forth a brief statement of the grounds therefor.

(b) Upon receipt of a petition, the department shall set a time and place for the hearing and shall give the petitioner at least 10 days written notice. The hearing shall commence no later than 30 days after the day on which the petition was filed except that, upon application or concurrence of the petitioner, the department may postpone the date of the hearing for a reasonable time beyond the 30-day period, if in its judgment the petitioner has submitted or the department has a good and sufficient reason for the postponement. Should petitioner fail to appear at the scheduled time and place of the hearing, the department may dismiss the petition without further action or take other action as may be appropriate.

(c) Upon conclusion of the hearing, the director of the department, or his or her duly authorized representative, shall notify the petitioner in writing of his or her decision in the matter and the reasons therefor, within 45 days.
