The results of the referendum shall be considered by the supervisors in determining whether the operation of the proposed watershed improvement district is administratively practicable and feasible. If the supervisors determine that the operation of the proposed district is not administratively practicable and feasible, they shall record such determination and deny the petition. If the supervisors determine that the operation of the proposed district is administratively practicable and feasible, they shall record such determination in the manner hereinafter provided; provided, however, that the supervisors shall not be authorized to determine that the operation of the proposed district is administratively practicable and feasible unless at least a majority of the votes cast in the referendum, representing not less than a majority of the land area within the proposed district, shall have been cast in favor of the creation of the watershed improvement district.
