§ 246. Approval of plans of corporation. The state racing and wagering  board shall not grant to a corporation hereafter formed pursuant to this  chapter,  a  license  to  conduct a running or steeplechase race meeting  within the state until such corporation  shall  have  submitted  to  the  board a statement of the location of its proposed grounds and racetrack,  together  with  a  plan  of  such racetrack, and plans of all buildings,  seating stands and other structures, in  such  form  as  the  board  may  prescribe,  and  such  plans  shall have been approved by the board. The  board at the  expense  of  the  applicant  may  order  such  engineering  examination  thereof  as  the  board  may deem necessary. Alterations of  buildings, seating stands or other structures, and the erection  of  new  or  additional  buildings,  seating  stands  or  other structures on the  grounds of any corporation heretofore or hereafter  formed  pursuant  to  this  chapter  may be made only with the approval of the board and after  examination and inspection of the plans thereof and the  issuance  of  a  permit  therefor  by  such  board.  The  approval  of the certificate of  incorporation of such corporation shall not be deemed to vest in it  the  right  to  a license to conduct running or steeplechase race meetings at  such race course or racetrack unless  such  grounds,  track,  buildings,  seating  stands  and  other  structures shall be completed in accordance  with the plans approved by the board.
