2.

Where, due to the scale, lack of detail, or illegibility of the Zoning Map accompanying this Ordinance, there is any uncertainty, contradiction, or confliction as to the intended location of any district boundaries shown thereon, interpretation concerning the exact location of district boundary lines shall be determined, upon written application, or upon its own motion, by the Board of Appeals.

3.

Where the Board of Appeals finds that an error, omission, or similar likely unintended action has resulted in a district boundary dividing a lot of record in single ownership at the time of adoption of this ordinance amendment, the Board may adjust the boundary of said district.
