The boundaries of the territory within which the tax authorized by subsection (1) of this section may be levied shall be determined by the county court after a public hearing.

Any elector or any owner of property within the territory may appear at the hearing to protest inclusion of the property of the voter within the territory, but the county court shall not exclude land which, in its judgment, will be served by the facilities included in the master plan.
