Any landowner whose property is located within the division may file a verified petition with the board alleging that the property will not be benefited by any construction, improvement, or maintenance project proposed to be undertaken by the division.
In such case, the board shall set the petition for hearing. Notice of the hearing shall be published in accordance with Section 1196. If, after hearing all of the evidence introduced at such hearing, the board finds and determines that the property will not, in fact, be benefited by the proposed project to be undertaken by the division and if there are no outstanding obligations owed by the landowner to the division, the board may order the property withdrawn and the boundaries modified accordingly. Thereafter, the boundaries as modified shall be the legal boundaries of the division.
