Before any preliminary drawing is approved affecting any land within 300 feet of the center line of a proposed new highway or a highway for which changes are proposed as described in the certification to local officials by the State Department of Transportation (ODOT), or any land within a radius of 500 feet from the point of intersection of the center line with any public road or highway, the Commission shall give notice, by certified mail, to the Highway Director. The Commission shall not approve the preliminary drawing for 120 days from the date the notice is received by ODOT. If ODOT notifies the Commission that it shall proceed to acquire the land needed, then the Commission shall refuse to approve the preliminary drawing. If the Highway Director notifies the Commission that acquisition at this time is not in the public interest or upon the expiration of the 120-day period or any extension thereof agreed upon by the Highway Director and the property owner, the Commission shall, if the preliminary drawing is in conformance with all provisions of these regulations, approve the preliminary drawing.
