§ 175-9 Interpretation of district boundaries.
The following rules shall govern the interpretation of boundaries indicated on the Zoning Map:
Where a district boundary is indicated as approximately following the center line of a street or highway, the street line or the highway right-of-way, such center line, street line or highway right-of-way shall be construed to be said boundary.
Where a district boundary is so indicated that it approximately follows a lot line, such lot line shall be construed to be said boundary.
Where a district boundary is so indicated that it is approximately parallel to the center line of a street or highway, the street or the highway right-of-way line, such district boundary shall be construed as being parallel thereto and at such distance therefrom as indicated on the Zoning Map.
Where a district boundary is indicated as approximately following the center line or right-of-way of a creek, stream or similar tributary of water, such center line or right-of-way shall be construed to be said boundary.
Where a district boundary is indicated as following a municipal boundary, a property line or a lot line, such a boundary or line shall be construed to be said district boundary. If said district boundary is indicated as approximately parallel to such a boundary or a line thereof, said district boundary shall be construed as being parallel thereto and at such distance therefrom as indicated on the Zoning Map.
Where distances between district boundary lines or from district boundary lines to lot, street or highway lines or other points of reference are in dispute, they shall be determined by the use of the scale shown on the Zoning Map.
Where uncertainty exists in determining the precise location of any district boundary line, the Zoning Board of Appeals, with advice from the Village Planning Board, shall decide the location of such line.
The boundaries of the Groundwater Protection Overlay District and its subareas reflect the best hydrogeologic information available as of the date of adoption of the Groundwater Protection Overlay District Map. Where these bounds are in doubt or in dispute, the burden of proof shall be upon the owner(s) of the land in question to show where the boundary should be properly located. The Village may consider providing assistance to the property owner in the event that the owner can demonstrate a financial hardship.
