Before any plat 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 Director of the State Department of Transportation of any land within a radius of 500 feet from the point of intersection of such 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 120 days from the date the notice is received by the Ohio Department of Transportation or until a response is received from the Director, whichever is less. If the Ohio Department of Transportation notifies the Commission that it intends to acquire the land needed, then the Commission shall refuse to approve the plat. If the Ohio Department of Transportation notifies the 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 is not agreed upon by the Ohio Department of Transportation and the property owner, the Commission shall, if the plat is in conformance with all provisions of these regulations, approve the plat.
