§ 1-5. Rules for interpretation of district boundaries on the official zoning map.

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

(1)

Boundaries indicated as approximately following the center lines of streets, highways, alleys, or public utility easements shall be construed to follow such center lines.

(2)

Boundaries indicated as approximately following platted lots or tract lines shall be construed as following such lines, whether public or private.

(3)

Boundaries indicated as approximately following town (political) limits shall be construed as following such political limits.

(4)

Boundaries indicated as following railroad lines shall be construed to be midway between the main tracks.

(5)

Boundaries indicated as approximately following the center lines of natural barriers such as streams, shall be construed to follow such center lines.

(6)

Boundaries indicated as parallel to, or extensions of features indicated in subsections 1 through 5 above shall be so construed. If distances are not specifically indicated on the official zoning map, or in other circumstances not covered by subsections 1 through 5 above, the boundaries shall be determined by the use of scale of such map.

(7)

Where uncertainties continue to exist after the application of the rules in this section, appeal for clarification may be taken to the board of zoning appeals.
