The written notice shall further state that the applicant, or owner of the advertising device, or the owner or lessee of the land on which the advertising device is located, has a right to an adjudication hearing pursuant to section119.06of the Revised Code, which request must be filed with the director within thirty days after the receipt of the written notice.
