line of the streets, streams and lot or property lines as they exist
on plots of record at the time of the original adoption of this Part
5 or any applicable amendment, unless such zone boundary lines are
fixed by dimensions shown on the Zoning Map.
B. Where such boundaries are not fixed by dimensions
and where they approximately follow lot lines, and where they do not
scale more than 10 feet distance therefrom, such lot lines shall be
construed to be such boundaries unless specifically shown otherwise.
C. Where a zone boundary divides a lot, the location
of such boundary, unless it is indicated by dimensions shown on the
map, shall be determined by the use of the scale appearing thereon.
