(2) The boundaries of the territory within which the tax authorized by subsection (1) of this section may be levied shall be determined by the county court after a public hearing. The county court shall direct the county clerk to publish notice of such hearing once a week for two successive weeks prior to the hearing in a newspaper of general circulation published within the proposed boundaries of the territory or, if there is no such newspaper, in a newspaper of general circulation in the county. Any elector or any owner of property within the territory may appear at the hearing to protest inclusion of the property of the voter within the territory, but the county court shall not exclude land which, in its judgment, will be served by the facilities included in the master plan.
