Interpretation of zoning boundaries

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

• • a. Boundaries indicated as approximately following the centerlines of streets, railroads or utility rights-of-way shall be construed to follow such centerlines.

  • b. Boundaries indicated as approximately following platted lot lines shall be construed as following such lot lines.

  • c. Boundaries indicated as following shorelines shall be construed to follow such shorelines, and in the event of change in the shoreline shall be construed as moving with the actual shoreline. Boundaries indicated as approximately following the centerline of streams, rivers, ponds or other bodies of water shall be construed to follow such centerlines.

  • d. Land created by the filling of a stream or water body shall be considered to be within the district of the land from which such fill was extended.

  • e. Boundaries indicated as approximately following town limits shall be construed as following such town limits.

  • f. Boundaries indicated as parallel to or extensions of features indicated in paragraphs a through e above shall be so construed. Distances not specifically indicated on the zoning map shall be determined by the scale of the zoning map.

  • g. Where physical or cultural features existing on the ground differ from those shown on the zoning map, or in other circumstances not covered by paragraphs a through f above, the zoning officer shall interpret the zoning district boundaries.
