For the purpose of this Chapter the Borough of Shamokin Dam is hereby divided into the following eight (8) districts designated as follows:

   R-1 Residential - Medium Density

(Ord. 87-8, 12/10/1987)

   The location and boundaries of these districts are established as shown on the Zoning Map of the Borough of Shamokin Dam. The Zoning Map is hereby made a part of this Chapter, together with all future notations, references, and amendments.

   The original of said "Zoning Map," properly attested, shall be and remain on file in the offices of the Secretary of the Borough of Shamokin Dam.

(Ord. 87-8, 12/10/1987)

   Where uncertainty exists as to boundaries of any District as shown on said map, the following rules shall apply:

   1.   District boundary lines are intended to follow or be parallel to the center line of streets, streams, and railroads; and lot or property lines as they exist on a recorded deed or plan of record in the Snyder County Recorder of Deed's Office at the time of the adoption of this Chapter, unless such District boundary lines are fixed by dimensions as shown on the Zoning Map.

   2.   Where a District boundary is not fixed by dimensions and where it approximately follows lot lines, and where it does not scale more than ten (10) feet therefrom, such lot lines shall be construed to be such boundaries unless specifically shown otherwise.

   3.   In unsubdivided land or where a District boundary divides a lot, the location of such boundary, unless the same is indicated by dimensions, shall be determined by the use of the scale appearing on the Map or by survey of a registered surveyor hired and paid for by the property owner questioning or contesting the boundary location.

(Ord. 87-8, 12/10/1987)

   If uncertainty exists as to the boundary of any District shown on the Zoning Map, the Zoning Hearing Board shall determine the location of such boundary.

(Ord. 87-8, 12/10/1987)

   Wherever State-owned property is included in one or more Zoning Districts, it shall be subject to the provisions of the Chapter only insofar as permitted by the Constitution and laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

(Ord. 87-8, 12/10/1987)

   This Chapter shall not apply to any existing or proposed building, or extension thereof, used or to be used by a public utility corporation, if, upon petition of the corporation, the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission shall, after a public hearing, decide that the present or proposed situation of the building in question is reasonably necessary for the convenience or welfare of the public.

(Ord. 87-8, 12/10/1987)

   All uses not specifically provided for in each District are prohibited.
