§ 280-d. Preparation of maps and plans. A petition may be presented to   the governing body requesting that a certain area or areas of the county   be established as a county district. Such petition shall be executed and   acknowledged  on behalf of a municipality or existing district, any part   of which is included within such area or areas, by the  chief  executive   officer  of  such  municipality,  or of such existing district serving a   similar function as the district to be established hereunder. In lieu of   execution of the  petition  by  the  chief  executive  officer  of  such   municipality  or  existing  district,  the  petition may be executed and   acknowledged by at least twenty-five owners of taxable real property  of   record  situated  within  such  municipality  or existing district. Upon   presentation of such a petition or on its own motion, the governing body   may direct the agency to cause maps and  plans  to  be  prepared  for  a   project  as  requested  in  the  petition  or for the establishment of a   certain area or areas of the county  as  a  county  district,  provided,   however,  that  if  the  petitioning  municipality, existing district or   owners of taxable property undertake to furnish or pay the cost of  such   maps  and  plans  at  its  or their cost and expense, the governing body   shall direct the agency to accept or prepare  the  same.  Such  maps  or   plans  shall  show  (1)  the  boundaries  of the area or areas which the   agency in its judgment considers will be  benefited  by  the  particular   project,  (2)  a  description  of the area or areas sufficient to permit   definite and  conclusive  identification  of  all  parcels  of  property   included  therein,  (3)  the  proposed  location  of  all dunes, bluffs,   bulkheads, dikes, groins, jetties, fills and other works, facilities and   improvements, (4) a description of  the  land  or  water  rights  to  be   acquired,  and  (5)  estimates  of  the  cost  of  construction  of  the   facilities as shown on the maps and plans and the  method  of  financing   the  same.  Such  maps  and  plans  shall  be consistent with, so far as   possible, any comprehensive plan for  hurricane  protection,  flood  and   shoreline  erosion control developed by the state or national government   for that purpose.If the report of the agency required by section two  hundred  eighty-e   of  this  article shall contain recommendations for the establishment of   two or more zones of assessment within a county district, such maps  and   plans  shall show the boundaries of each of such zones and the estimated   initial allocation of the cost of the  construction  of  the  facilities   recommended to be charged to each of such zones.Where  acceptable  maps,  plans and related data have theretofore been   prepared  by  or  for  one  or  more  existing  or  proposed   hurricane   protection, flood and shoreline erosion control districts, the governing   body  may, instead, authorize the agency to adopt and utilize such maps,   plans and data and, where a county district  is  thereafter  established   and  facilities constructed thereby on the basis of such maps, plans and   data, the agency shall reimburse the municipalities, existing  districts   or persons who have paid for all or part of the cost of such maps, plans   and  data  in  a  reasonable  amount to be agreed upon among them, which   amount shall not exceed their net expenditures therefor, and  shall  not   include any portion of the cost paid from federal or state aid and which   amount,  when paid, shall be deemed part of the cost of the construction   of the facilities by the agency.
