The zoning districts are shown, defined and bounded on a map entitled "Town of Vestal Zoning Map" adopted contemporaneously with the local law from which this chapter is derived and certified by the town clerk, which accompanies and which, with all explanatory matter hereon, is hereby made a part of this chapter. The town clerk, with the assistance of a civil engineer or such other qualified person as may be designated by the town board, shall make changes on the map as directed by the town board. The original of the map shall be filed in the office of the town clerk and shall be available for public inspection.

(Code 1966, § 44-III-1(B), (C))

Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundary of any district as shown on the town zoning map, the following provisions shall apply:

(1)

District boundary lines are either the centerlines of streets, highways or railroads or the boundary lines of tracts or lots or such lines extended, unless otherwise indicated.

(2)

Wherever a district boundary is indicated as approximately paralleling a street or highway centerline, the district boundary shall be interpreted as being parallel thereto and at such dimensions as shown on the zoning map. The depth of the strip shall be measured at right angles from the street or highway. If no distance is given, such dimensions shall be determined by the use of the scale as set forth on the zoning map.

(3)

Where uncertainty exists in determining the precise location of any district boundary line, the zoning board of appeals shall interpret the intent and purpose of the zoning map.

(Code 1966, § 44-III-2)

Where a district boundary line divides a lot, the provisions for either portion of the lot may, at the owner's discretion, extend to the entire lot, but not more than twenty-five (25) feet beyond the boundary line of the district, except that this provision shall not apply so as to permit extensions of commercial or industrial boundary lines into any RA-1 or RA-2 district.
