Before any plat is approved affecting any land within 300 feet of the centerline of a proposed new state highway or a state highway for which changes are proposed as described in the certification to local officials by the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) Director of any land within a radius of 500 feet from the point of intersection of such centerline with any public road or highway, the Planning Commission shall give notice by registered or certified mail to the ODOT Director. The Planning Commission shall not approve the plat for a maximum of 120 days from the date the notice is received by the ODOT Director. If the ODOT Director notifies the Planning Commission that he or she shall proceed to acquire the land needed, the Planning Commission shall refuse to approve the plat. If the ODOT 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 ODOT Director and the property owner, the Planning Commission shall, if the plat is in conformance with all provisions of these regulations, approve the plat.
