3-57-9. Formation of local public bodies.
No local public body shall be organized within a five-mile radius of the corporate limits of the municipality having the greatest number of inhabitants in a class A county, unless the governing body of such municipality consents thereto. No local public body shall be organized beyond such five-mile radius in a class A county, unless the governing body of such county consents thereto. As a condition to granting such consent, such governing body may require such new local public body to comply with all master plans and all design and construction criteria for public improvements adopted by ordinance by such governing body.
