§ 175-12 Zoning Map.
The boundaries of said districts shall be shown upon the Zoning Map made a part of this chapter which shall be designated the Township of Fermanagh Zoning Map. The Map, and all notations, references, and other data shown thereon, is hereby incorporated by reference into this chapter as if they were fully described herein.
§ 175-13 District boundaries.
Where uncertainty exists as to boundaries of any district as shown on said Map, the following rules shall apply:
A.
District boundary lines are intended to follow or parallel the center line of streets, streams, and railroads, and lot or property lines as they exist on a recorded deed or plan of record in the County Recorder of Deed's Office at the time of the adoption of this chapter, unless such district boundary lines are fixed by dimensions as shown on the Zoning Map.
B.
Where a district boundary is not fixed by dimensions and where it approximately follows lot lines, and where it does not scale more than 10 feet therefrom, such lot lines shall be construed to be such boundaries unless specifically shown otherwise.
C.
Where a district boundary divides a lot held in single and separate ownership prior to the effective date of this chapter placing 75% or more of the lot area in a particular district, the location of such district boundary may be construed to include the remaining 25% or less of the lot so divided.
§ 175-14 Interpretation of boundaries.
In case of any uncertainty, the Zoning Hearing Board shall interpret the intent of the map as to location of district boundaries.
