D.
For unsubdivided land or where a zoning district boundary divides a lot, the location of the zoning district boundary, unless dimensions are indicated, shall be determined by the scale appearing on the Zoning Map.
E.
Where a municipal boundary divides a lot, the minimum lot area shall be regulated by the municipality in which the principal use(s) are located, unless otherwise provided by applicable case law. The land area within each municipality shall be regulated by the use regulations and other applicable regulations of each municipality.
F.
In the case of any uncertainty as to zoning district boundaries on the Zoning Map, the Zoning Officer shall determine the zoning district boundaries; however, the Zoning Officer's determination may be appealed to the Zoning Hearing Board of the Township of Fairview in accordance with Article XII of this chapter relating to Zoning Hearing Board.
