Editor's Note: Said map is on file in the
Township offices.
District boundaries shall be determined as follows:
A.
Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately
following the center lines of streets, highways, street lines, highway
right-of-way lines or streams, such center lines shall be construed
to be such boundaries.
B.
Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately
following lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be such
boundaries.
C.
Where district boundaries approximately follow a railroad,
such boundaries shall be deemed to be located in the center of such
railroad right-of-way.
D.
Where the boundary of a district follows a stream
or other body of water abutting another municipality, the boundary
shall be deemed to be the limits of jurisdiction of the Township unless
otherwise indicated.
E.
Where streets, property lines or other physical boundaries
and delineations are not applicable, boundaries shall be determined
by the scale shown on the original Zoning Map on file in the office
of the Township Secretary.
F.
Where physical or cultural features existing on the ground are at variance with those shown on the Zoning Map or in other circumstances not covered in this § 195-9, the Zoning Hearing Board shall interpret the district boundary.
G.
When a district boundary line divides a lot held in
single and separate ownership at the effective date of this chapter,
the regulations which apply to the use in a less restricted district
shall extend over the portion of the lot in the more restricted district
a distance of not more than 100 feet beyond the district boundary
line.
