By statute, the approval of the layout of a gasoline station and the issuance of a license for its operation is within the purview of the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles. Work in the highway right of way will be specified in a highway permit in accordance with the plan approved by the Motor Vehicle Department. Operation of the station as a retail business will not be permitted until the work within the State right of way is completed in the manner prescribed in the permit.
