§ 108-5 Incorporation of Zoning District Map.
A.
The location and boundaries of the aforesaid zoning districts are shown on a map entitled "Town of Colden Zoning Map," which in all sections thereof, with all explanatory matter thereon, is hereby incorporated into this chapter and shall be as much a part of this chapter as if fully set forth and described herein.[1] Said Zoning Map shall consist of an index location sheet indicating the sites of each section of the Zoning Map in the Town of Colden; a legend delineating each zoning district of this chapter as stipulated in § 108-4 above; a series of individual maps or sections of this chapter wherein the district boundaries of the zoning districts of this chapter are delineated. Furthermore, each of the sectional maps of this chapter is stamped to indicate the exact number of each section in relationship to the series of sectional maps. Map scales among the sectional maps vary so each sectional map indicates its exact scale in feet per inch.

As evidence of the authenticity of the Zoning Map and all sections thereof, said map and all sections thereof and all amendments thereto shall be posted and filed according to Article 16 of the Town Law of New York State.
