§ 205-20 District boundaries.
Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of any district as shown on said map, the following rules shall apply:
A.
District boundary lines are intended to follow the center lines of streets, railroad rights-of-way and streams, or such lines extended or lines perpendicular or parallel thereto, and a lot or property lines as they exist on plans of record at the time of the adoption of this chapter, unless such district boundary lines are indicated otherwise, or fixed by dimensions as shown on the Zoning Map.
B.
Where figures are shown on the Zoning Map between the street and a district boundary line, they indicate that the district boundary line runs parallel to the street line at a distance therefrom equivalent to the number of feet so indicated, unless otherwise indicated.
C.
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.
D.
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 map.
E.
In case any further uncertainty exists, the Zoning Hearing Board shall interpret the intent of the map as to location of district boundaries.
