The Court will receive evidence at this trial offered to establish the adverse effect of the annexation on the petitioner and the nature of any error in the proceedings before the Board of County Commissioners; "3. The Court will not receive new evidence (beyond the record below) as to the discretionary issues which were considered and decided by the County Commissioners, i.e., whether the general good of the territory sought to be annexed will be served if the annexation petition is granted and whether the territory is unreasonably large. "The latter issue will be reviewed and considered by this Court on the basis of the record and hearing which was held before the County Commissioners on October 17, 1989.”
