Lands not included within the proposed district as set forth in the petition, but which are adjacent or in the proximity of land included within the district, and which the board finds will be generally or specially benefited by being included in the district, may, upon application at the hearing by the owners of title or evidence of title to such lands, be included within the proposed district.

D. Upon the hearing of the petition, the board of supervisors shall determine whether or not the petition complies with the requirements of sections 48-2303 through 48-2305, and for that purpose shall hear all competent and relevant evidence offered in support of or in opposition thereto.

E. All decisions and determinations made at the hearing shall be entered upon the minutes of the board of supervisors.
