Approval of plat - Special election
Official statutory text
The owners of a tract of land located not more than ten (10)
miles from the nearest limits of the municipality, or located at any
greater distance which is reasonable under the circumstances in
order to secure the most desirable site, may present to the
governing body a plat of the tract of land prepared in the same
manner as a plat for a proposed municipal incorporation. The
governing body shall examine the plat and may require amendments and
changes as it deems expedient. If the governing body finds that the
area contained in the plat is a suitable and desirable site for the
municipality, it shall call for a special election on the question
of whether the territory comprised within the plat shall be annexed
to the municipality and serve as the new site for the municipality.
