District boundaries, on the revised zoning map adopted and designated in section 154-3, are hereby established and adopted as part of this chapter.

(b)

Where any uncertainty exists or arises as to the location of any district boundary on said map, the following rules shall apply:

(1)

Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following street lines, alley lines or lot lines, such lines of such streets, alleys or lot lines shall be construed to be such boundaries as existing or projected.

(2)

Where district boundaries are so indicated that they approximately follow the lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be said boundaries.

(3)

In unsubdivided property, or where a district boundary divides a lot, the location of such boundary, unless the same is indicated by dimensions, shall be determined by use of the scale appearing on the map. In case any further uncertainty exists, the board of zoning adjustment shall interpret the intent of the map as to location of such boundaries.

(4)

Boundaries indicated as approximately following town limits shall be construed as following town limits as they existed at the time of the establishment of the district boundary.

(5)

Boundaries indicated as following a shoreline shall be construed to follow such shoreline, and in the event of change in the shoreline, shall be construed as moving with the actual shoreline.

(6)

Submerged lands, including waters over such submerged land, unless specifically zoned otherwise, are to be construed as being zoned in the same as the abutting upland.
