If the location of the Water Supply Protection Overlay District boundary in relation to a particular parcel is in doubt, the Beverly Zoning Board of Appeals will resolve the boundary dispute in consultation with the applicant(s).

In such cases, a formal written request for consideration will be filed with the Zoning Board of Appeals and must be accompanied by sufficient documentation to demonstrate that either the parcel (or portion thereof) is clearly outside of the district or that there is sufficient question as to the exact location of the boundaries.

In cases where the Zoning Board of Appeals considers the information submitted by the applicant to be insufficient in order to make the requested determination, the Board will require the applicant to select a professional engineer(s), hydrologist(s), or soil scientist(s) from a list provided by the Board, at the applicant's expense, to determine more accurately the boundaries of the district with respect to an individual parcel(s) of land.
