Any owner of property proposed to be assessed may at any time before or at the public hearing file in writing with the council any protest, objection, or suggestion as to the proposed maintenance district, stating briefly the reason therefor, or present the same in person, orally, at the public hearing. If owners representing 55 percent of the total assessment value, at the hearing or prior thereto, file with the council written protests, duly acknowledged by such owners, against the proposed maintenance district, the same shall not be made, unless by a two-thirds vote of all members of the council. If the protest against the proposed maintenance district is sustained, the same shall not be made, and the proceedings shall not be renewed within six months from the date of closing of the public hearing, unless each and every owner protesting shall sooner withdraw the protest.
