Editor's Note: The current Zoning Map is on file in the Town offices.
Where uncertainty exists as to the location of any boundaries shown on the Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply:
A. 
District boundary lines are intended to follow streets, rights-of-way, watercourses or lot lines or be parallel or perpendicular thereto, unless such district boundary lines are fixed by dimensions as shown on the Zoning Map.
B. 
Where district boundaries are indicated as following approximate streets, rights-of-way or watercourses, the center lines thereof shall be construed to be such boundaries.
C. 
Where district boundaries are so indicated that they follow the edge of lakes, ponds, reservoirs or other bodies of water, the mean high-water lines thereof shall be construed to be the district boundaries.
D. 
Where district boundaries are so indicated that they approximately follow lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.
E. 
If the district classification of any land is in question, it shall be deemed to be in the most restrictive adjoining district.
[Amended 9-25-1989 by L.L. No. 1-1989]
Where districts are referred to as "more restrictive" or "less restrictive," the designation shall refer to the order in which the districts are named in § 165-3, the first name being the most restrictive.
Where a zoning district boundary line divides a lot in single ownership at the effective date of this chapter, leaving part subject to permissive regulations and part subject to prohibitive regulations, the Zoning Board of Appeals after public hearing may permit an extension of the use of that lot into the district where it is prohibited, provided that the extension does not extend more than 50 feet into that district. Furthermore, the Board may impose conditions on that extension as protection to neighboring property.
A. 
A single-family dwelling and customary accessory buildings may be erected on any existing lot of record (recorded with the County Clerk) at the effective date of adoption or amendment of this chapter, notwithstanding limitations imposed by other provisions of this chapter. This provision shall apply even though such lot fails to meet the requirements for area or width or yard size, provided that requirements other than those applying to area or width or yard size of the lot shall conform to the regulations for the district in which such lot is located. The single-family dwelling minimum yard requirements for existing lots of record within the R+A and R-1 Districts shall be as follows:
Minimum Yard Requirements for Existing Lots of Record
Minimum Dimension

Front
50
Side, one
15

B. 
Existing lots of record in R-2, C-1, C-2, I-1 and I-2 Districts shall conform to the provisions of this chapter.
