Where district boundaries are so indicated that they approximately follow the lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be said boundaries.
B.
Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following the center lines of streets or highways, street lines or highway right-of-way lines, such center lines, street lines or highway right-of-way lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.
C.
Where district boundaries are so indicated that they are approximately parallel to the center lines or street lines of streets or the center lines or right-of-way lines of highways, such district 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 shown on said Zoning Map.

Where uncertainty exists in determining the precise location of any district boundary line, the Board of Appeals shall interpret the intent and purpose of the Zoning Map.
