municipality, by | 11 |
| resolution of the corporate authority of the municipality,
| 12 |
| files an objection to the establishing of the proposed | 13 |
| restricted area, then
that restricted area shall not be | 14 |
| approved except by a favorable vote of
two-thirds of the | 15 |
| Chairman and Board of Directors.
