   No public building or structure, street, park, playground, public ground, bridge or other public way, ground, works or utility, whether publicly or privately owned, or a part thereof, shall be constructed or authorized to be constructed within the limits of the Municipality unless and until it has been submitted to the Planning Commission for report and recommendation. In the case of disapproval, the Commission shall communicate its reasons therefor to Council and to the head of the department which has control of the construction of the proposed improvement or utility. Council, by a vote of not less than two-thirds of its members, may overrule such disapproval. If such public way, ground, works, building, structure or utility is one of which the authorization or financing does not, under the law, fall within the province of Council, the submission to the Commission shall be by the State, school, County, district, board, commission or body having jurisdiction and the Commission's disapproval may be overruled by such official board, commission or body by a vote of not less than two-thirds of its membership. The opening, widening, narrowing, relocating, vacating or change in the use of streets and other public ways, grounds and places shall be subject to similar approval, and this approval may be similarly overruled.
