Where a district boundary line divides a lot which was in single ownership at the time of passage of this chapter, the Zoning Enforcement Officer may consider the extension of the regulations for either portion of the lot not to exceed 30 feet beyond the district line in the remainder of the lot;

  • D. Boundaries indicated as following shore lines shall be construed to follow such shore lines, and in the event of change in the shore line shall be construed as moving with the actual shore line;
