map adopted or approved in connection with a zone ordinance or amendment,
and a notice setting forth the title and a brief description of every such
ordinance or of every such amendment to an ordinance shall be published once
in the official newspaper of the town or, if there is none, once in a newspaper
designated by the Town Board having general circulation in the town, and the
affidavit of such publication shall be filed with the Town Clerk. Such ordinance
or amendment shall take effect ten (10) days after such publication, but such
