§ 707.07.
After the hearing on a petition to incorporate, the board of county commissioners
shall enter an order on its journal allowing the incorporation if it finds that: (A) The petition contains all the matters required in section 707.02 of the Revised Code and the statements in the petition are true. (B) Notice has been published as is required by section 707.05 of the Revised Code . (C) The number of valid signatures on the petition constituted fifty-one per cent of
the electors within the territory proposed to be incorporated, as determined by the
total number of votes cast within that territory for the office of governor at the
preceding general election for that office. (D) The territory included in the proposed municipal corporation is compact and is not
unreasonably large; municipal services, such as police and fire protection, street
construction and maintenance, sanitary and storm sewers, planning, zoning, and subdivision
control, and parks and recreational facilities are capable of being financed by the
proposed municipal corporation with a reasonable local tax, using the current assessed
valuation of properties as a basis of calculation; and the general good of the community,
including both the proposed municipal corporation and the surrounding area, will be
served if the incorporation petition is granted.
