Before any plat is approved affecting any land within three hundred (300) feet of the centerline of the proposed new highway or a highway for which changes are proposed as described in the certification to local officials by the Director of the State Department of Transportation of any land within a radius of five hundred (500) feet from the point of intersection of said centerline with any public road or highway, the Commission shall give notice by registered or certified mail to the director of the State Department of Transportation. The Commission shall not approve the plat for one hundred twenty (120) days from the date the notice is received by the State Transportation Director. If the State Transportation Director notifies the Commission that he shall proceed to acquire the land needed, then the Commission shall refuse to approve the plat. If the State Transportation Director notifies the Commission the acquisition at this time is not in the public interest or upon the expiration of the one hundred twenty (120) day period or any extensions thereof agreed upon by the State Transportation Director and the property Owner, the Commission shall, if the plat is in conformation to all existing regulations, approve the plat (O.R.C.
