A. Except in the case of a water or sewer improvement declared by the council to be needed at once because of an emergency, if written, signed objections or remonstrances to the establishment of a local improvement district are filed with the recorder by the end of the public hearing on the establishment of the district by the owners of land which bears 60 percent of the estimated assessed cost of the proposed local improvement, the council shall abandon the establishment of the district and not reinitiate its establishment for six months.

B. If there is a multiple ownership in a parcel of land (as, for example, in the case of tenancy in common, joint tenancy or tenancy by the entirety), each remonstrating multiple owner shall be counted as a fraction to the same extent as the owner’s interest in the land bears in relation to the other multiple owners, and the same fraction shall be applied to the parcel’s proposed assessment for purposes of computing the remonstrance.

C. Any person acting as agent or attorney with power to act in signing a remonstrance shall, in addition to describing the property affected, file with the remonstrance a copy in writing of the authority to represent the owner of the property.
