Boundaries. When uncertainty exists as to boundaries of any district as shown on the Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply:

Where a district boundary is not fixed by dimensions and where said boundary approximately follows a lot line, and where it does not scale more than 10 feet therefrom, such lot line shall be construed to be such boundary line unless specifically shown otherwise.

The permitted use of a lot of less than on 1/2 acre shall be determined by the most restrictive zoning classification of the lot.
