§ 175-7 Rules for interpretation of district boundaries.
Where uncertainty exists as to boundaries of any district as shown on said Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply:
A.
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 plans on record at the time of the adoption of this chapter, unless such district boundary lines are fixed by dimensions as shown on the Zoning Map.
B.
Where a district boundary is not fixed by dimensions and where it approximately follows lot lines or approved subdivision plans and where it does not scale more than 10 feet therefrom, such lot lines shall be construed to be such boundaries, unless specifically shown otherwise.
C.
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 Zoning Map.
§ 175-8 Interpretation of boundaries by Zoning Hearing Board.
In case of any uncertainty, the Zoning Hearing Board shall interpret the intent of the map as to location of district boundaries.
§ 175-9 Lots divided by district boundaries.
In unsubdivided land where a district boundary line divides a lot held in single and separate ownership, the following rules shall apply:
A.
The use in a less restricted district may extend over the portion of the lot in the more restricted district a distance of not more than 50 feet beyond the district boundary line, provided that such extension does not extend the frontage of the less restricted district along a street.
B.
The frontage of the less restricted district may extend over the portion of the lot in the more restricted district a distance of not more than 50 feet beyond the district line, provided that a special exception is granted by the Zoning Hearing Board.
