§ 250-7 Zoning Map.
The boundaries of said districts are hereby established as shown on the "Zoning Map," Town of Mount Hope, as adopted by the Town Board, dated July 1997, which accompanies, and which, with all explanatory matter thereon, is hereby made a part of this chapter. Said map, indicating the latest amendments, shall be kept up-to-date in the offices of the Planning Board and/or the Town Clerk for the use and benefit of the public.
§ 250-8 District boundaries.
In determining the boundaries of the districts shown on the map, the following rules shall apply:
A.
Unless otherwise shown, the district boundaries shall be construed to coincide with the center lines of streets, highways, waterways, railroad rights-of-way, lot lines or boundary lines of subdivisions, municipal boundary lines, or such lines extended unless otherwise indicated.
B.
Where such boundaries are indicated as approximately following the property lines of publicly owned lands, such lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.
C.
Measurements stated on the Zoning Map are perpendicular or radial distances from street lines measured to the zone boundary line, which in all cases where distances are given, are parallel to the street line.
D.
Where a district boundary divides a lot in single ownership, the regulations for either portion of the lot may, at the owner's request, be extended up to 30 feet beyond the boundary of the district subject to the review and approval of the Planning Board. Any such change shall be recorded on an approved subdivision or site plan. In no event shall this section allow boundaries to be shifted which are shown as following the center line of the roadway.
E.
In all other cases, where dimensions are not shown on the map, the location of the boundaries shown on the map shall be determined by the use of the scale appearing thereon.
F.
The boundary line separating the RP-1 and RP-2 Districts south of the Village of Otisville has been mapped to follow the ridgeline of the Shawangunk Mountains at a point 100 feet west of and parallel to the ridgeline as shown on the USGS Otisville quadrangle dated 1976. Any land use application, whether to the Planning Board, Building Inspector, Zoning Board of Appeals or any other municipal agency, involving lands in such area shall include the submission of topographical and boundary information certifying to the location of the ridgeline and showing the RP-1/RP-2 zoning boundary by a licensed surveyor or professional engineer to the Town Engineer for his review.
