Sec. 38-104. - Zoning district map and district boundaries.

(a)

The locations and boundaries of the aforesaid districts, except shoreland-wetland districts, are shown on separate maps of each township and these maps collectively with the county wetlands map, shall make up the official zoning map of the county, and shall be made part of this article. United States Geological Survey quadrangle maps, and flood hazard boundary maps, and general floodplain maps for the county are also adopted as aids in determination of navigability, shoreland boundaries, and for topographical information necessary to properly administer the provisions of this article.

(b)

District boundaries, except shoreland-wetlands, are generally located in conjunction with the centerlines of roadways, railways, section lines, quarter section lines and lot lines. Questions regarding the exact location of district boundaries shall be determined by the zoning administrator in accordance with the following interpretive rules:

(1)

Unless otherwise indicated on the map, district boundaries are the centerlines of highways, streets and other roadways or railroads; section lines, quarter section lines, lot lines, or such lines extended. Where different dimensions of depth or length of a boundary are indicated, either by figures shown on the zoning map or by an attached legend or by attached maps such as enlargements U.S.G.S. Maps (R.C. District) or other maps for clarification, such dimensions and material shall be controlling.

(2)

Districts located at the intersections of roadways or roadways and railroads, shall be measured from the center point of such intersections.

(3)

Where a district boundary is indicated as paralleling a roadway or railroad and a definite depth is not given, the district boundary line shall be measured at right angles to the roadway or railroad and shall be 300 feet in depth, or the depth necessary to meet the district area requirement when multiplied by the minimum width, whichever is greater. The length of each such district shall be taken as what is shown on the map.

(4)

Where a district boundary is indicated as paralleling the edge of a watercourse and a definite depth is not given, the district boundary line shall be measured at right angles to the watercourse and shall be 300 feet in depth, or the depth necessary to satisfy the minimum area required when multiplied by the minimum district width requirement, whichever is greater. The length of each district shall be taken as what is shown on the map.

(5)

Where a district boundary line divides a lot or parcel of less than the required area, which is in single ownership at the time of enactment of this article, the requirements of the district in which the greatest proportion of the lot or parcel lies, shall apply to the entire lot or parcel.

(6)

The boundary of a shoreland-wetland district is presumed to be the edge of a wetlands as defined in the ordinance, or the landward edge to which shoreland regulations apply. The zoning administrator shall determine shoreland-wetland district boundaries by visual inspection and may request any necessary assistance from the department of natural resources.

(7)

All other cases of interpretation of district boundaries and appeals from the determination of the zoning administrator shall be determined by the board of adjustments.
