Any owner or owners of real property which is totally or partially within the district established pursuant to the provisions of this chapter, or their legal representatives, may file a petition with the Authority, individually or jointly, requesting that their real property be excluded from the district because the same will not benefit thereby, or that the fees for benefits be reduced because they exceed the real profits received by their property.
Said petition shall include the physical address of the property and the registry description of the same. The exact geographical location of the property shall be drawn on a map so that its location may be identified in relation to the district.
The petition shall also contain a statement setting forth the grounds sustaining said petition as well as a plea. The same must be sworn to by the owner or his/her legal representatives.
In those cases it may deem meritorious, the Authority shall summon the petitioners as well as a representative of the benefited entity to a hearing to consider the petition for exclusion or reduction. The Authority may consolidate all related cases presented individually to expedite their prompt solution.
