These districts so established are bounded and defined as shown
on a map entitled "Zoning District Map of Meridian Township," adopted
by the Township Board and certified by the Township Clerk, which accompanies
and which, with all explanatory matter thereon, is hereby made a part
of this chapter.
[Code 1974, § 82-1.4]
Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of any
of the districts indicated on the Zoning Map, the following rules
shall apply.
(1)
Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following
the streets or highways, the centerlines of such streets or highways
shall be construed to be such boundaries.
(2)
Where district boundaries are so indicated that they approximately
follow the lot lines such lot lines shall be construed to be such
boundaries.
(3)
Where district boundaries are so indicated that they are approximately
parallel to the centerline of street lines of streets or to the centerlines
or rights-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. If no distance is given, such dimension
shall be determined by the use of the scale shown on the Zoning Map.
(4)
Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following
railroad lines, the line midway between the main tracks shall be construed
to be such boundaries.
(5)
Where the boundary of a district follows a stream or drain the district
boundary line shall be interpreted as following the approximate centerline
between the two banks. Where the boundary of a district follows a
lake, pond, or similar body of water the district boundary line shall
be interpreted as following the shoreline.
