(a) When the application is received for a plat lying fully or in part within 300 feet of the centerline of a proposed new highway or a highway for which changes are proposed by the Ohio Department of Transportation, or for a plat lying fully or in part within a radius of 500 feet from the point of intersection of such centerline with any public road or highway, the City shall notify the Director of the Ohio Department of Transportation by registered or certified mail. If such Director notifies the City that he shall proceed to acquire the land needed, then the Planning Board and Council shall refuse to approve the plat. If the Director notifies the City that acquisition at this time is not in the public interest, the Planning Board and Council shall, if the plat is in conformance with all provisions of these regulations, take action on the plat.
(b) While awaiting the Ohio Transportation Director's response, the Planning Board and Council may review the plat and give tentative approval. Such tentative approval shall only signify the likelihood of future approval, but shall not permit the plat to be recorded or constructed. From the date the notice is received by the Ohio Director of Transportation, 120 days shall be allowed for him to respond. This time limit may be extended by mutual agreement between such Director and the property owner. If the Director's response is not received within the time limits as noted above, the Planning Board and Council may proceed to approve the plat which may then be recorded and constructed.
