§ 7-708 Changes. Such regulations, restrictions and boundaries may

from time to time be amended. An amendment shall be effected by a simple

of trustees in villages having three members on such board, and

three-fourths of the members of the board of trustees in all the other

villages in the event such amendment is the subject of a written

protest, presented to the board and signed by:

1. the owners of twenty percent or more of the area of land included

in such proposed change; or

2. the owners of twenty percent or more of the area of land

immediately adjacent to that land included in such proposed change,

extending one hundred feet therefrom; or
