In determining the boundaries of districts shown

be construed to coincide with the center lines of streets, alleys,
highways, waterways, railroad rights-of-way or such lines extended,
unless otherwise indicated.
B. Where such boundaries are indicated as approximately
following a lot line, such lot line shall be construed to be said
boundary.
C. Measurements stated on the Zoning Map are perpendicular
or radial distances from street lines measured to the zone boundary
line, which, in all cases where distances are given, are parallel
to the street line.
D. Where a district boundary divides a lot in single
ownership, the regulations for either portion of the lot may, at the
owner's discretion, extend not more than 30 feet beyond the boundary
line of the district.
E. In all other cases where dimensions are not shown
on the Zoning Map, the location of boundaries shown on the Zoning
Map shall be determined by the use of the scale appearing thereon.
F. Where a district boundary line is shown as approximately
following the Village limits, such boundary shall be construed to
the Village limits.
G. In cases of doubt, the district boundary line shall
be determined by the Zoning Board of Appeals of the Village of Chester.
