                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

DETERMINATION OF FEASIBILITY OF OPERATION (§ 10.1-514)

After the Board has made and recorded a determination that there is need for the
organization of the proposed district in a particular territory, and has defined
the boundaries, it shall consider whether the operation of a district within
such boundaries is administratively practicable and feasible. In making its
determination, the Board shall consider the attitudes of the occupiers of lands
lying within the defined boundaries, the probable expense of the operation of
such district, the effect upon the programs of any existing districts, and other
relevant economic and social factors. If the Board determines that the operation
of a district is administratively practicable and feasible, it shall record its
determination and proceed with the organization of the district. If the Board
determines that the operation of a district is not administratively practicable
and feasible, it shall record its determination and deny the petition. If the
petition is denied, the Board shall notify the petitioner in the manner provided
in this chapter.
