§ 140-9 Interpretation of district boundaries.

Where uncertainty exists with respect to boundaries of any zoning district as shown on the Official Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply:
A. 
Where boundaries are indicated as approximately following the center lines of streets or highways, such center lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.
B. 
Where boundaries are so indicated that they approximately follow platted lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be said boundaries.
C. 
Where boundaries are so indicated that they are approximately parallel to the center lines of streets or the center lines or rights-of-way lines of highways, such boundaries shall be construed as being parallel thereto and at such distance therefrom as indicated on the Zoning Map. If no distance is given, such dimension shall be determined by the use of the scale on the Zoning Map.
D. 
Where the boundaries follow a shoreline of a stream or creek, said boundary shall be deemed to follow such shorelines and, in the event of a change in the shoreline, shall be construed as moving with the actual shoreline. Boundaries indicated as approximately following the center lines of streams, rivers or other bodies of water shall be construed to follow such center lines.
E. 
Where physical or cultural features existing on the ground are at variance with those shown on the Official Zoning Map or in other circumstances not covered herein, the Zoning Board of Appeals shall interpret the boundaries.
