Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of any of the mapped zoning districts, or overlay zoning district, as shown on the Official Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply:
Boundaries indicated as approximately following the center lines of streets, highways, or alleys shall be construed to follow such center lines of these rights-of-ways.
Boundaries indicated as approximately following lot lines shall be construed as following such lot lines.
Boundaries indicated as following the municipal limits of the Village of Phelps shall be construed as following such municipal limits.
Boundaries indicated as following the center lines of streams or other water bodies shall be construed to follow such center lines, except for the boundaries of the mapped Floodplain Overlay District (FPO). The FPO boundaries are based upon the Official Mapping of the Flood Insurance Rate Maps, prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and adopted by the Village Board as part of the National Flood Insurance Program for the Village of Phelps.
Boundaries indicated as parallel to or extensions of features identified in Subsections A through D above herein shall be so construed.

Any appeal to this determination shall be to the Village of Phelps Zoning Board of Appeals.
Where physical or cultural features on the ground are at variance with those shown on the Official Zoning Map, or in other circumstances not covered by Subsections A through E above herein, the Village of Phelps Zoning Board of Appeals shall interpret the zoning district boundaries.
