2.4 Location of Boundaries.
The location of the boundary lines of the districts shown upon the Zoning Map shall be determined as follows:
2.4.1.
Center Line. Where a boundary is shown as following a public way, private way, railroad, or utility transmission line, the boundary shall be the center line thereof unless otherwise indicated.
2.4.2.
Parallel. Where a boundary is shown outside of a public way, private way, railroad, or utility transmission line and approximately parallel thereto, it shall be deemed parallel to the nearest exterior line thereof; and a figure placed on the Zoning Map between the boundary and the way, railroad, or utility transmission line is the distance in feet of such boundary from such exterior line, said distance being measured at a right angle thereto unless otherwise indicated.
2.4.3.
Other. In any cases not covered by the other provisions of this subsection, the location of a boundary line shall be determined by the distance in feet, if given, from other lines upon the Zoning Map, or, if distances are not given, then by the scale of said map.

Where a Single Residence A, B, C, or D District boundary line divides a lot the entire area of which lies in a residence district, the regulations applicable to the less restricted portion of such lot may extend not more than 30 feet into the more restricted portion, provided that such lot has required frontage on a public or private way in the less restricted district; otherwise, there shall be no extension.

When a lot is situated in part in the Town and in part in an adjacent municipality, the provisions of the bylaw shall be applied to the portion of such lot in the Town in the same manner as if the entire lot were situated in the Town.
