Within thirty (30) days after such petition has been filed with the board of
supervisors, it shall cause due notice to be given as provided in KRS
262.010(4) of the hearing upon the practicability and feasibility of creating such
subdistrict. All interested parties shall have the right to attend such hearing and
be heard. If it shall appear at the hearing that other lands should be included or
that lands included in the petition should be excluded, the board of supervisors
may permit such inclusion or exclusion, provided the land area involved still
meets the requirements of KRS 262.705.
If it appears upon the hearing that it may be desirable to include within the
proposed district, territory outside of the area within which due notice of the
hearing has been given, the hearing shall be adjourned and due notice of a
further hearing shall be given throughout the entire area considered for
inclusion in the district and a further hearing shall be held. After final hearing, if
the board of supervisors determines, upon the facts presented at the hearing
and upon other available information, that there is need, in the interest of the
public health, safety and welfare for such a district to function in the territory
considered, it shall make and record the determination and shall define, by
metes and bounds, or by recognizable terrain features and description, the
boundaries of the watershed district.
If the board determines after the hearing that it is not feasible for such district
to function in the territory considered, it shall make and record the
determination and shall deny the petition.
If the board determines that there is a need for a conservancy district, the
board of supervisors shall establish a proposed maximum budget for the
maintenance of the proposed conservancy district, to be funded either by
millage or flat rate sufficient to meet the budget.
