Before any zoning amendment is approved affecting any land within 300 feet of the centerline of a proposed new highway or highway for which changes are proposed as described in the certification to local officials by the Director of the Ohio Department of Transportation, or within a radius of 500 feet from the point of intersection of the centerline with any public road or highway, the Village Planning Commission shall give notice, by registered or certified mail to the Director of the Ohio Department of Transportation. The Village Planning Commission may proceed as required by law, however, for 120 days from the date the notice is received by the Director of the Ohio Department of Transportation. If the Director of the Ohio Department of Transportation notifies the Village Council that he or she shall proceed to acquire any land needed, then the Village Council shall refuse to approve the zoning. If the Director of the Ohio Department of Transportation notifies the Village Council that acquisition at this time is not in the public interest or upon expiration of the 120-day period or any extension thereof agreed upon by the Director of the Ohio Department of Transportation and the property owner, the Village Council shall proceed as required by law.
