§ 500-9 Zoning Map.
[Amended 8-6-2001 by Ord. No. 233]
The boundaries of said districts shall be shown upon the map attached to and made a part of this chapter which shall, except those treated as floating zones, be designated "Zoning Map." The same map and all the notations, references, and other data shown thereon are hereby incorporated by reference into this chapter as if all were fully described herein.
§ 500-10 District boundaries.
Where uncertainty exists as to boundaries of any district as shown on said map, the following rules shall apply:
A.
District boundary lines are intended to follow or be parallel to the center line of streets, streams, and railroads; and lot or property lines as they exist on a recorded deed or plan of record in the Clinton County Recorder of Deeds office at the time of the adoption of this chapter, unless such district boundary lines are fixed by dimensions as shown on the Zoning Map.
B.
Where a district boundary is not fixed by dimensions and where it approximately follows lot lines, and where it does not scale more than 10 feet therefrom, such lot lines shall be construed to be such boundaries unless specifically shown otherwise.
C.
In unsubdivided land or where a district boundary divides a lot, the location of such boundary, unless the same is indicated by dimensions, shall be determined by the use of the scale appearing on the maps.
§ 500-11 Interpretation of boundaries.
In case of any uncertainty, the Zoning Hearing Board shall interpret the intent of the map as to location of district boundaries.
