The ordinance shall be enforced by the administrator, who shall be appointed by the governing body. The administrator shall serve at the pleasure of that body. Compensation for such shall be fixed by resolution of the governing body. The Zoning Administrator shall have all necessary authority on behalf of the governing body to administer and enforce the ordinance.

Nothing contained herein shall require any change in the plans or construction of any building or structure for which a permit was lawfully issued prior to the effective date of this ordinance. However, such construction must commence within thirty (30) days after this ordinance becomes effective. If construction is discontinued for a period of six (6) months or more, further construction shall be in conformity with the provisions of this ordinance for the district in which the operation is located.

Unless district boundary lines are fixed by dimensions or otherwise clearly shown or described, and where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of any of the aforesaid districts as shown on the zoning map, the following rules shall apply:

(A)

Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following or being at right angles to the center lines of streets, highways, alleys, or railroad main tracks, such center lines or lines at right angles to such center lines shall be construed to be such boundaries, as the case may be.

(B)

Where a district boundary is indicated to follow a river, creek or branch or other body of water, said boundary shall be construed to follow the center line at the low water or at the limit of the jurisdiction and in the event of change in the shoreline, such boundary shall be construed as moving with the actual shoreline.

(C)

If no distance, angle, curvature, description or other means is given to determine a boundary line accurately and the foregoing provisions do not apply, the same shall be determined by the use of the scale shown on said zoning map. In the case of subsequent dispute, the matter shall be referred to the Board of Zoning Appeals which shall determine the boundary.*
