1. “But in any event, we find that defendants' contention that the 'territory to be annexed' phrase in R.C. 709.033 refers to the time when the original petition is filed not to be well taken. Rather, we find that the 'territory to be annexed' phrase refers to 'after the hearing on the petition to annex' has been completed and the 'territory proposed to be annexed' is finally determined. In short, if a deleting amendment is to be granted, it must be accomplished before the commissioners' 'finding' process mandated by R.C. 709.033 begins. Obviously, the finding required by R.C. 709.033(D) could not be undertaken by the county commissioners until they know the exact boundaries of the territory which is to be considered for annexation in the context of 'the general good of the territory.' * * *”
