The districts shall be of the number, size and
shape as shown on the Zoning Maps of the Town of Sykesville, and said
maps with the necessary symbols, legends, and explanatory matter thereon,
are hereby made and declared to be a part of this chapter. As evidence of the authenticity of said maps, they shall
be signed by the Mayor and Council of Sykesville upon the adoption
of these regulations.
Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries
of districts as shown on the official Zoning Maps, the following rules
shall apply:
A. Boundaries indicated as approximately following the
center lines of streets, highways, or alleys shall be construed to
follow such center lines;
B. Boundaries indicated as approximately following property
lines or platted lot lines, shall be construed as following such lines;
C. Boundaries indicated as approximately following Town
limits shall be construed as following Town limits;
D. Boundaries indicated as following railroad lines shall
be construed to be midway between the main tracks;
E. Boundaries which are drawn parallel to road lines
and which do not coincide with property lines or lot lines, and where
not designated by dimensions, shall be determined by use of the map
scale as shown thereon;
F. Boundaries which are in unsubdivided property or where
district boundary divides a lot shall be determined by the use of
the map scale as shown thereon;
G. Where a district boundary line as shown on the Zoning
Map or maps divides a lot which was in single ownership and of record
at the time of enactment of this chapter the use authorized thereon
and the other district requirements applying to the least restricted
portion of such lot under this chapter shall be considered as extending
to the entire lot, provided the more restricted portion of such lot
is entirely within 50 feet of said dividing district boundary line.
The use so extended shall be deemed to be conforming.
