Petitioners filed a motion to modify the judgment, seeking clarification of the court's ruling with respect to the other objections made by respondents. The trial court subsequently issued a modified order in which it sustained all of respondents' objections and dismissed the incorporation petition. On appeal, petitioners have addressed each of the objections sustained by the trial court. When such a resolution is in effect, the court in which such a petition is filed shall first require a showing that those determinations have been made by the county board. If no such showing is made, the court shall deny the petition.
Petitioners contend, however, that dismissal of their petition was premature.
A full understanding of this argument requires consideration of two additional statutory provisions. The ruling of the court shall be entered of record in the court. If the court rules that the area does not constitute a village in fact, the petition to incorporate the area as a village is denied and no subsequent petition concerning village incorporation of any of the land described in the earlier petition may be filed within one year. If the court rules that the area does constitute a village in fact, such court shall enter an order so finding and the proposition shall be certified and submitted to the electors of such area in the manner provided by the general election law.
