§ 180-7 Zoning Map.
The location and boundaries of said districts are shown on the Zoning District Map, Town of Milton. Said map, together with all explanatory matter thereon and all amendments thereto, is hereby adopted and is declared to be an appurtenant part of this chapter. Said map shall be kept up-to-date and shall be located in the Town Clerk's office for the use and benefit of the public. Certified copies of said map shall also be on file in the offices of the Town Planning Board, Zoning Board of Appeals, Zoning Enforcement Officer and Code Enforcement Official.
§ 180-8 Interpretation of district boundaries.
Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of any of the aforesaid zoning districts as shown on the Zoning District Map, the following rules shall apply:
A.
Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following the center lines of right-of-way lines of streets, highways, public utility easements or watercourses, said boundaries shall be construed to be coincident with such lines. Such boundaries shall be deemed to be automatically adjusted if a center line or right-of-way line of such street, highway, public utility or watercourse is moved a maximum distance of 50 feet by action of a person other than the owner of the affected land area.
B.
Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following the Town or village boundary line, property lines or projections thereof, said boundaries shall be construed to be coincident with such lines or projections thereof.
C.
Where district boundaries are so indicated that they are approximately parallel to the Town or village boundary line, property lines, lot lines, right-of-way lines or projections thereof, said boundaries shall be construed as being parallel thereto and at such distances therefrom as indicated on the Zoning District Map or as shall be determined by use of the scale shown on said map.
D.
Where a district boundary line divides a single lot of record, at the time such line is established, the regulations for the less restricted portion of such lot may, at the owner's discretion and with the exception of the Stream Corridor Overlay District (SC-O), extend up to 30 feet into the more restricted portion, provided that the lot has street or highway frontage in the less restricted district.
E.
In all other cases, where dimensions are not shown on the Zoning District Map, the location of the boundaries shown on said map shall be determined by use of the scale appearing thereon.
