Interpretation. Where uncertainty exists as to the exact location of any boundary shown on the Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply:
1.
Zoning boundary lines are intended to follow the line of streets, railroad rights-of-way, or stream channels and other natural features where possible. Where zoning boundaries do not follow such features, it shall be determined either by the dimensions shown on the Map or by use of the graphic scale shown thereon.
2.
Where boundary lines are not fixed by dimensions and where they do not scale more than 10 feet distant from a plat or tax map line, such lot lines shall be construed to be the boundary line.
