way, ground, place, or space, no public building or structure, school or school site, and no
public utility, whether publicly or privately owned, shall be constructed or authorized in the
area of the adopted plan until and unless the location and extent thereof has been submitted

communicate its reasons to the town council or police jury, as appropriate, and the town
council or police jury, by a vote of not less than two-thirds of its entire membership, shall
have the power to overrule such disapproval and, upon such overruling, the town council,
police jury, or the appropriate board or officer shall have the power to proceed. However,
if the public way, ground, place, space, building, structure, school or school site, or utility
be one the authorization or financing of which does not, under the law or charter provisions
governing the same, fall within the province of the town council or police jury or other body
or official of the municipality or of the parish, then the submission to the commission shall
be by the board or official having such jurisdiction, and the commission's disapproval may
be overruled by such board by a vote of not less than two-thirds of its entire membership or

commission or his deputy shall issue a receipt showing the date, time, and sufficient
description to identify any document submitted to it for approval.
C. The failure of the commission to act within sixty days from the date of official
filing shall be deemed approval, unless a longer period be granted by the town council, police
jury, or other submitting agency or official, provided that the acceptance, widening, removal,
extension, relocation, narrowing, vacation, abandonment, change of use, acquisition of land
for, or sale or lease of any street, or other public way, ground, place, property, or structure
by the police jury or by the town council, as the case may be, need not be submitted for
approval by the commission unless in conflict with such master plan.
