Where a district boundary divides a parcel of land, the location of such boundary, unless the same is indicated by dimensions shown on the map, shall be determined by the use of the scale appearing thereon.
§ 700-6 Merger of contiguous lots.
Except for subdivisions approved after January 1, 1979, or those lots or parcels which conform to the Nutley Schedule of Regulations as to Bulk, Height and Other Requirements,[1] all lots or parcels that are situate in the same residential zone and are contiguous, in common ownership and containing only one principal conforming use shall be considered as merged into one lot for the purpose of this chapter. The Tax Assessor is directed to remove all lot lines between such lot or parcels as soon as practicable. Notwithstanding the existence of lines creating separate lots on the Tax Map, such lines shall be deemed as removed for the purposes of this chapter.
