46A-10A-62. Survey report to be written--Inspection--Scheduling hearing--Notice requirements. The report required by § 46A-10A-61 shall be in writing to the board and shall be maintained with the petition. The report shall be available for inspection and copying by interested parties during regular business hours. Upon receipt of an engineer's report, the county auditor shall set a time and place for a hearing on the petition and shall give notice thereof by publication at least once each week for at least two consecutive weeks in a legal newspaper of the county, to be selected by the auditor. The notice shall give a description of each tract of land affected by the proposed project and the names of owners and all directly affected third parties holding drainage interests. If any portion of a municipality is included within a proposed district, the notice is sufficient if it sets forth the boundaries of the municipal territory proposed to be included within the project without listing individual lots, parts of lots, parcels of land, or the names of the owners thereof and if it refers interested persons to the files in the proceeding for further particulars. The notice shall summon all persons affected by the proposed drainage to appear at the hearing and testify regarding the proposed project. The notice also shall summon all persons deeming themselves damaged by the proposed project or claiming compensation for lands proposed to be taken for the project to present their claims at the hearing.
