The aforesaid zones are established by the designations,
locations and boundaries set forth and indicated on the official Zoning
Maps to be located in the office of the Township Engineer (hereinafter
referred to as "Engineer") and maintained by him. A map entitled "General
Zoning Map," indicating designations, locations and boundaries, shall
be attached to all copies of the Zoning Ordinance for information
purposes only.
If, in accordance with the provisions of this
chapter and the Revised Statutes of the State of New Jersey, changes
are made in the district boundaries or other matters portrayed in
the map by the Township Council, such change shall be made promptly
by the Engineer after the amendment has taken effect as provided by
law. For each change in the map, a note shall be made thereon, in
the revision box, of the date of revision, zones affected by the revision
and a brief identifying description of the revision. These changes
are to be endorsed upon the map on the effective date of the amendment.
Whenever an uncertainty or ambiguity exists
as to the true location of any boundary line of any district (zone)
shown on the map, the following rules shall apply:
A. Center lines. Boundary lines indicated as following
or approximately following streets, highways or other public or private
ways shall be construed to follow the center lines thereof as determined
by the Engineer.
B. Platted lines. Boundaries indicated as following or
approximately following platted lot lines shall be construed as following
such lot lines as the same appear on the Tax Map of the Township,
as revised.
C. Municipal lines. Boundaries indicated as following
or approximately following municipal lines shall be construed as following
such municipal lines.
D. Shorelines. Boundaries indicated as following or approximately
following shorelines shall be construed to follow such shorelines
but, in the event of change in the shorelines, shall be construed
as moving with the actual shoreline. Boundaries indicated as following
streams, rivers or other bodies of water shall be construed as following
the center lines thereof.
E. Parallels and extensions. All distances between parallel or concentric lines, or extensions or prolongations of features indicated in Subsections
A through
D above, shall be construed to be at right angles in the case of parallel lines or radial in the case of concentric lines.
