§ 1513. Review of subdivisions along state routes.

(a)

No subdivision plat containing land which abuts a state route shall be approved until such plat has been submitted for review and comment by the Georgia Department of Transportation, in accordance with the provisions of O.C.G.A. § 32-6-151.

(b)

When the county receives such a plat, it shall submit two copies of the proposed subdivision plat to the Georgia Department of Transportation if such proposed subdivision includes or abuts on any part of the state highway system. The Georgia Department of Transportation, within 30 days of receipt of the plat, shall recommend approval and note its recommendation on the copy to be returned to the public development director or recommend rejection. Failure of the Georgia Department of Transportation to act within this 30-day period shall constitute approval. If the plat is recommended for rejection, the reasons for rejection and requirements for approval shall be given to the public development department in writing; but such recommendation shall be advisory only and shall not be binding.
