§ 151.042 INTERPRETATION OF ZONING MAP.
(A) Where there is uncertainty, contradiction or conflict as to the location of any zoning district boundary line, whether due to scale, illegibility or lack of detail of the zoning map, the Zoning Administrator shall make the interpretation and determination. Any person aggrieved by the interpretation may appeal the interpretation to the Board of Adjustment who shall make the final determination, subject to appeal to the District Court.
(B) The Zoning Administrator and the Board of Adjustment, in interpreting the official zoning map, and in deciding appeals of these determinations, shall apply the following standards:
(1) Zoning district boundary lines are intended to follow lot lines, or to be parallel or perpendicular thereto, or along the centerline of streets, alleys, rights-of-way, or along the ordinary high water level of public waters, unless the boundary lines are clearly designated otherwise on the zoning map;
(2) Where zoning district boundary lines are so indicated that they approximately follow lot lines, the lot lines shall be construed to be the boundary lines; and
(3) Where a zoning district boundary line divides a lot, the location of any zoning district boundary line, unless indicated by dimensions shown on the zoning map, shall be determined by use of the map scale on the official zoning map.
