Before any plat 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 a certification to the regional Planning Commission by the State Director of Transportation of any land within a radius of 500 feet from the point of intersection of such center line with any public road or highway, the Planning Commission shall give notice, by registered or certified mail to the State Director of Transportation. The Planning Commission shall not approve the plat for 120 days from the date the notice is received by the Director. If the Director notifies the Planning Commission that he shall proceed to acquire the land needed, then the Planning Commission shall refuse to approve the plat. If the Director notifies the Planning 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 Director and the property owner, the Planning Commission shall, if the plat is in conformance with all provisions of these Regulations, approve the plat.
