§ 37-2.4

Rules for Interpretation of District Boundaries.

[1999 Code § 17.04.040, D]
Whenever an uncertainty or ambiguity exists as to the true location of any boundary line of any district (zone) shown on the map, the following rules shall apply:
a. 
Center Lines. Boundary lines indicated as following or approximately following streets, highways or other public or private ways shall be construed to follow the center lines thereof as determined by the Engineer.
b. 
Platted Lines. A boundary indicated as following or approximately following platted lot lines shall be construed as following such lot lines as the same appear on the tax map of the Township as revised, unless its position is shown on the zoning map by a specific dimension expressing its distance in feet from a street line or other boundary line as indicated.
c. 
Municipal Lines. Boundaries indicated as following or approximately following municipal lines shall be construed as following such municipal lines.
d. 
Shorelines. Boundaries indicated as following or approximately following shorelines shall be construed to follow such shorelines, but in the event of change in the shorelines, shall be construed as moving with the actual shoreline. Boundaries indicated as following streams, rivers or other bodies of water shall be construed as following the center lines thereof.
e. 
Parallels and Extensions. All distances between parallel or concentric lines, or extensions or prolongations of features indicated in paragraphs a. through d. above, shall be construed to be at right angles in the case of parallel lines or radial in the case of concentric lines.
f. 
In the case of uncertainty as to the true location of a zone boundary line in a particular instance, the determination thereof shall be made by the Zoning Officer. An appeal may be taken to the board of adjustment as provided in subsection 39-7.4.
