§ 155-9 Interpretation of boundaries.
A.
The district boundary lines are generally intended to follow the center lines of rights-of-way, the mean water levels of rivers, streams and other waterways, existing lot lines or Town boundary lines, all as shown on the Zoning Map, but where a district boundary does not follow such a line, its position is shown on said Zoning Map by a specific dimension expressing its distance in feet from a street line or other boundary line as indicated.
B.
Where a district boundary line divides a lot in single or joint ownership of record at the time such line is established, if that district extending back from the front lot line occupies 60% or more of the total area, then the rear lot line of that lot shall be considered the district boundary. In all other cases, the lot shall remain in two or more districts. In the event that a zone boundary is unclear, the Building Inspector shall request the Zoning Board of Appeals to render its judgment with respect thereto.
