§  706.  Annexation  of uninhabited territory belonging to a city or a   village.   1. Village-owned territory. If a  village  is  the  owner  of   uninhabited  territory  adjoining  the  village,  such  territory may be   annexed to the village if the town board  of  the  town  in  which  such   territory  is  situated,  by  a  concurring  vote  of  a majority of its   members, consents thereto on the basis of its  determination  that  such   annexation  is  in the over-all public interest; provided, however, that   if all or any portion of such uninhabited territory is located in  whole   or  in  part in another village in the town, the governing board of such   other village by a concurring of a majority of its  members  shall  also   consent  thereto  on the basis of its determination that such annexation   is in the over all public interest. Upon the filing of such  consent  or   consents, as the case may be, with, the board of trustees of the village   which  owns  such  uninhabited  territory, the board of trustees of such   village may make a written order determining  to  annex  such  territory   without  the  presentation  of a petition as prescribed in section seven   hundred four of this article and without  the  holding  of  the  hearing   provided in section seven hundred five of this article.2.  City-owned  territory.  If  a  city  is  the  owner of uninhabited   territory adjoining the city, such territory may be annexed to the  city   if  the town board of the town in which such territory is situated, by a   concurring vote of a majority of its members, consents  thereto  on  the   basis  of  its  determination  that  such  annexation is in the over-all   public interest; provided, however, that if all or any portion  of  such   uninhabited  territory  is  located  in whole or in part in a village in   such town, the governing board of such village, by a concurring vote  of   a  majority  of  its members, shall also consent thereto on the basis of   its determination  that  such  annexation  is  in  the  over-all  public   interest.  The  town  board  shall,  prior  to granting its consent give   thirty days written notice of the meeting of the town board at which the   question of such annexation will be discussed to  any  school  district,   fire district or other district corporation, public benefit corporation,   and   town   improvement  district  operated  by  a  separate  board  of   commissioners, situated wholly or partly in the territory to be  annexed   and  which  would  be  affected by such annexation. Any such district or   corporation may appear  at  such  meeting  or  adjournment  thereof  and   present  objections  to such annexation. Upon the filing of such consent   or consents, as the case may be, with the governing board of  the  city,   the governing board of such city may make a written order determining to   annex   such  territory  without  the  presentation  of  a  petition  as   prescribed in section seven hundred four of this article and without the   holding of the hearing provided in section seven hundred  five  of  this   article.3. Except as otherwise provided in this section, all the provisions of   this  article, including but not limited to those requiring the adoption   of a local law as provided in section seven  hundred  fourteen  of  this   article,  shall  be  applicable  to  and  govern  the  proceedings to be   followed in effectuating any such annexation.
