[1]
Editor's Note: The Zoning Map is included as an attachment
to this chapter.
A.
Designation of district boundaries. The district boundary
lines are intended generally to follow the boundary lines of streets,
the center lines of railroad rights-of-way, existing lot lines, the
mean water level of streams and other waterways or Town boundary lines,
all as shown on the Zoning Map; but where a district boundary line
does not follow such a line, its position is shown on said Zoning
Map by a specific dimension expressing its distance in feet from a
street line or other boundary line as indicated.
B.
Determination of locations of boundaries. In case
of uncertainty as to the true location of a district boundary line
in a particular instance, the Code Enforcement Officer shall request
the Board of Appeals to render its determination with respect thereto.
C.
Unsubdivided property. In unsubdivided property or
where a district boundary divides a lot, the location of any such
boundary, unless the same is indicated by dimensions shown on the
Zoning Map, shall be determined by the use of the map scale shown
thereon.
D.
District boundary following water body. Where the
boundary of a district follows a stream, lake or other body of water,
said boundary line shall be deemed to be at the limit of the jurisdiction
of the Town of Phelps unless otherwise indicated.
