(1) A certified copy of the notice of public hearing, with proof of publishing and posting thereof as required by this article, and, in the instance of a sewer, wastewater disposal, drainage or water district, of the map, plan and report filed in the town clerk's office pursuant to section two hundred nine-c;

(2) An itemized statement of the then outstanding indebtedness of the town for all purposes, as evidenced by bonds, bond anticipation notes, capital notes, deferred payment notes and budget notes; the amount of budgetary appropriations for the payment of any such outstanding indebtedness, whether or not such appropriations have been realized as cash; the amount of indebtedness proposed to be contracted for the improvement, and the amounts, purposes and probable dates of issuance of any bonds, bond anticipation notes, capital notes, deferred payment notes and budget notes which the town has authorized to be issued but which in fact have not been issued on the date of such application;

(3) A statement of the aggregate assessed valuation of the real property situated in the proposed district or extension thereof, as such assessed valuations are shown on the last completed assessment roll of the town prior to the date of such application;

(4) A statement of the average full valuation of the taxable real property of the town. Such average full valuation shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the first paragraph of subdivision seven-a of section 2.00 of the local finance law;

(5) A statement as to the manner in which it is proposed to finance the cost of the improvement.

(b) Whenever such an application shall be filed in the office of the department of audit and control, the state comptroller shall within five days thereafter give notice thereof to the board of supervisors of the county in which such proposed district or extension is located by filing with the clerk of such board of supervisors one copy of such application. At any time within fifteen days of the filing of the application, the board of supervisors may file an objection, in writing, in the office of the department of audit and control.

(c) Thereafter and subsequent to the filing in the office of the county clerk and the department of audit and control of the certificate required to be filed by the town clerk pursuant to subdivision four of section two hundred nine-e of this article, the state comptroller shall determine whether the public interest will be served by the establishment or extension of the district and also whether the cost thereof will be an undue burden upon the property of the proposed district or extension. The state comptroller may make such determinations upon the original or any amended application, or in his discretion may require the submission of additional information or data in such form and detail as he shall deem sufficient, or may cause an investigation to be made, to aid him in making the determinations above mentioned. 4. Upon the expiration of fifteen days from the date of the filing of such application with the clerk of the board of supervisors, the comptroller shall make an order, in duplicate, granting or denying permission for the establishment or extension of the district and shall file one copy of such order in the office of the state department of audit and control at Albany, New York, and the other in the office of the town clerk of the town in which the proposed district or extension is located. The town clerk shall present such order to the town board of the town at the next meeting thereof. If the certificate required to be filed by the town clerk pursuant to the provisions of subdivision four of section two hundred nine-e of this article states that the proposition submitted at such referendum was disapproved, the comptroller shall return the application to the town clerk without taking any action thereon. 5. If the state comptroller shall deny permission for the establishment or extension of the district, the town board shall forthwith adopt an order terminating its proceedings in connection with the proposed establishment or extension of such district. If the state comptroller shall grant permission therefor, the town board shall adopt a final order establishing the district or extension as the boundaries shall be finally determined.
