§ 310-4 Zoning Map.
The areas and boundaries of such districts are hereby established as shown on the Zoning Map of Woodbury, Orange County, New York. Said map, with all explanatory matter thereon, accompanies and is hereby made a part of this chapter, to be so certified by the Village Clerk. A copy of said map indicating the latest amendments shall be kept up-to-date in the offices of the Village Clerk and Code Enforcement Officer for the use and benefit of the public.
§ 310-5 District boundaries.
A.
Where a district boundary is shown as following approximately the center line of a street or highway, a street line, a highway right-of-way line or a projection of any one of the same, the boundary is such center line, street line, highway right-of-way line or projection.
B.
Where a district boundary is shown following a railroad line, such boundary shall be deemed to be located midway between the main tracks of said railroad line.
C.
Where a district boundary is shown as separated from but approximately parallel to a street, highway or railroad, such district boundary shall be deemed to be parallel to the center line of such street or highway or to a line located midway between the main tracks of said railroad and at such distance therefrom as shown on the Zoning Map. If no distance is given, such dimension shall be determined by the use of the scale shown on the Zoning Map.
D.
Where practical, zoning lines will follow property lines. In cases where a district boundary divides a lot in one ownership and no specific dimensions are provided to locate the line, the Zoning Board of Appeals shall interpret the precise location of the line.
E.
Where a street, highway, railroad or other physical monument or marker on the ground by which a boundary is determined varies from that shown on the Zoning Map, the on-the-ground physical monument or marker shall control.
