The following text defining Districts and Zones are included herein for assistance only. The official Zoning Map is the definitive document delineating Districts and Zones and is incorporated into these Town Ordinances. Where boundaries are shown following property lines, it is intended that the official Zoning Map delineate Districts and Zones precisely along these property lines. However, it is probable that in various instances a property line as depicted on the Zoning Map will not precisely correspond to the property line as determined by a survey or by deed research. Therefore, any inconsistency between the Zoning Map and a property line in effect at the time the Zoning Map was adopted or is amended shall be resolved in favor of the actual property line. In the following definitions of Districts, lots are referred to by Tax Map and Lot number, or by owner. (6-90, 3-92)

PROCEDURE FOR CONTROL OF THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP.

The Town Clerk shall maintain a record of changes to the official Zoning Map as voted by the Town starting with town meetings after 1 June 1992; Maps presented to the Town and adopted by the Town shall be attested to by the Town Clerk. A composite map shall be maintained in the Town Office to sum up the display of the latest definitions of districts. A small-scale composite shall be in the Town ordinances. A working copy shall be maintained by the Town Clerk to show the latest zoning changes. (6-92)
