The commissioner may grant commission status and all the privileges and powers enjoyed by the commissions, as specified in this chapter, when the commissioner finds that:
1. Occupation of shoreland by 2 or more municipalities. Two or more municipalities, which collectively occupy enough of the shoreland on a river segment to be effective in managing the shorelands of the river, have entered into an agreement under chapter 115, 1 which satisfies the requirements of section 4464;
2. Comprehensive plan. The same municipalities have prepared a comprehensive plan which satisfies the requirements of section 4465;
3. Ordinance. The same municipalities have prepared an ordinance to implement the comprehensive plan which satisfies the requirements of section 4466; and
4. Other commissions. No other commission exists on the same river, or the distance between the proposed and existing commissions makes the formation of one larger commission impractical.
