Interpretation of district boundaries

[Amended 4-9-2007 by Ord. No. 2006-6]

Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of districts as shown on the Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply:

• A. Boundaries indicated as approximately following the center lines of a highway, street, alley, railroad, watercourse or body of water shall be construed to be center line, or middle thereof, or where such boundaries indicated as approximately following Town limits shall be construed as following such Town limits.
• B. Boundaries indicated as approximately following platted lot lines shall be construed as following such lot lines.
• C. Where a district boundary line divides a lot which was in single ownership at the time of passage of this chapter, the Zoning Board may permit, as a special use permit, the extension of the regulations for either portion of the lot not to exceed 30 feet beyond the district line into the remainder of the lot.
• D. Boundaries indicated as following shorelines shall be construed to follow such shorelines "at the mean high waterline" and in event of change in the shoreline shall be construed as moving with the actual shoreline.
• E. Boundaries indicated as parallel to or extensions of features indicated in the above subsections shall be so construed. Distances not specifically indicated on the Zoning Map shall be determined by the scale of the map.
• F. Where physical or cultural features existing on the ground are at variance with those shown on the Zoning Map, or in other circumstances not covered by the above subsections, the Zoning Board shall interpret the district boundaries.
