Before any plat or Site Plan is approved affecting any land within 300 feet of the centerline of a proposed new highway or a highway for which changes are proposed as described in the certification to local officials by the State Director of Transportation of any land within a radius of 500 feet from the point of intersection of center line with any public road or highway, the Planning and Zoning Board shall give notice, by registered or certified mail, to the Director. The Planning and Zoning Board shall not approve the plan for 120 days from the date the notice is received by the Director. If the Director notifies the Planning and Zoning Board that he shall proceed to acquire the land needed, then the Planning and Zoning Board may refuse to approve the plan, according to provisions of Revised Code Chapter 5511. At the request of the subdivider, the Planning and Zoning Board may give tentative approval and allow the subdivider to proceed with completion of his plan. However, it shall be clear that tentative approval will be withdrawn if the Director of the Department of Transportation proceeds to acquire the land. If the Director notifies the Planning and Zoning Board that acquisition at this time is not in the public interest, or upon the expiration of the time is not in the public interest, or upon the expiration of the 120-day period or any written extension thereof agreed upon by the Director and the property owner, the Planning and Zoning Board shall, if the plan is in conformance with all provisions of these regulations, approve the plan.
