[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. I)]
There shall be a map known and designated as the "Official Town of Pierrepont Zoning Map," which shall show the boundaries of all zoning districts within the Town. This map shall be dated, and is available for inspection at the Town Office. A representation of this map is included as an attachment to this chapter.
§ 205-10 Interpretation of zoning boundaries.
A.
Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of any zoning districts as shown on the Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply:
(1)
Where district boundaries are so indicated that they approximately follow lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.
(2)
Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following the center lines of roads or highways or highway right-of-way lines, such center lines or highway right-of-way lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.
(3)
Where district boundaries are so indicated that they are approximately parallel to the center lines of roads or highways, such district boundaries shall be construed as being parallel to and at such distance from such center line as indicated on the Zoning Map. If no distance is given, such dimensions shall be determined by the use of the scale shown on the Zoning Map.
(4)
Where the boundary of a district follows a river, stream, lake or other body of water, said boundary shall be deemed to run down the center line of such water body between mean high water levels.
(5)
Where the boundary of a district appears to follow a utility easement, such boundary shall be deemed to be located in the middle of such easement.
B.
In cases where the preceding rules do not clarify the true district boundary line, the Code Enforcement Officer shall render a determination. The Code Enforcement Officer or Planning Board may request the Zoning Board of Appeals to interpret the spirit and intent of this chapter to render a determination on any specific case.
C.
Lots divided by zoning district lines.
(1)
Whenever a single lot two acres or less in size is located within two or more different zoning districts, the district regulations applicable to the district within which the larger portion of the lot lies shall apply to the entire lot.
(2)
Whenever a single lot greater than two acres in size is located within two or more different zoning districts, each portion of that lot shall be subject to all the regulations applicable to the district in which it is located.
