boundaries are indicated as approximately following the center lines
of streets or highways, street lines, or highway right-of-way lines,
such center lines, street lines, or highway right-of-way lines shall
be construed to be such boundaries.
B. Where district
boundaries are indicated as approximately following lot lines, such
lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.
C. Where district
boundaries are indicated as approximately parallel to the center lines
of streets or highways, street lines, or highway right-of-way lines,
such district boundaries shall be construed as being parallel thereto
and at such distance there from as indicated on the Zoning Map. If
no distance is given, such dimension shall be determined by the use
of the scale shown on said Zoning Map.
D. Where district
boundaries are included as approximately following a railroad line,
such boundary shall be deemed to be located in the middle of the main
tracks of said railroad line.
E. When a
district boundary line intersects or divides a portion of an existing
lot of record at the time of passage of this chapter, the regulations
for the less restrictive portion of such lot may be extended not more
than 100 feet into the more restrictive portion, provided that the
lot has frontage on a street in the less restrictive district and
provided that the Planning Board determines the proposed use to be
beneficial to the neighboring properties and upon demonstration of
no evidence of a detriment to surrounding properties.
