The board may act upon a written drainage project petition only if it is signed by a majority of the resident owners of lands described in the petition who are likely to be affected by the proposed drainage. If potentially affected land is sold under a contract for deed which is of record in the office of the register of deeds, both the seller and the purchaser of the land shall be treated as owners.
