The area of the Town of Colden is hereby divided into the following
zoning districts:
A.
The location and boundaries of the aforesaid zoning districts are
shown on a map entitled "Town of Colden Zoning Map," which in all
sections thereof, with all explanatory matter thereon, is hereby incorporated
into this chapter and shall be as much a part of this chapter as if
fully set forth and described herein.[1] Said Zoning Map shall consist of an index location sheet indicating the sites of each section of the Zoning Map in the Town of Colden; a legend delineating each zoning district of this chapter as stipulated in § 108-4 above; a series of individual maps or sections of this chapter wherein the district boundaries of the zoning districts of this chapter are delineated. Furthermore, each of the sectional maps of this chapter is stamped to indicate the exact number of each section in relationship to the series of sectional maps. Map scales among the sectional maps vary so each sectional map indicates its exact scale in feet per inch.

Editor's Note: The Zoning Map is included in a pocket at the
end of this volume.
B.
As evidence of the authenticity of the Zoning Map and all sections
thereof, said map and all sections thereof and all amendments thereto
shall be posted and filed according to Article 16 of the Town Law
of New York State.
Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of any
of the aforesaid districts, as shown on the Town of Colden Zoning
Map and all sections thereof, the following rules shall apply:
A.
Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following
the center lines of streets, roads or highways, street lines, road
lines or highway right-of-way lines, such center lines, street lines,
road lines or highway right-of-way lines shall be construed to be
said boundaries.
B.
Where district boundaries are so indicated that they approximately
follow lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be said boundaries.
C.
Where district boundaries are so indicated that they are approximately
parallel to the center lines or street lines of streets or the center
lines or road lines of roads or the center lines or right-of-way lines
of highways, such district boundaries shall be construed as being
parallel thereto and at such distance therefrom as indicated on the
Zoning Map and all sections thereof. If no distance is given, such
dimension shall be determined by the use of the scale shown on said
Zoning Map and all sections thereof.
D.
Where the boundary of a district follows a railroad line, such boundary
shall be deemed to be located in the middle of the main tracks of
said railroad line. Where the boundary of a district follows an aboveground
utility or power line, such boundary shall be deemed to be located

a district follows a waterway, such boundary shall be deemed to be
