Pocono Township is hereby divided into zones or districts, as
shown on the Official Zoning Map, which, together with all explanatory

and amendments.

and shall be the final authority as to the current zoning status of
land and water areas in the Township, regardless of unofficial copies
which may have been made or published from time to time.

Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of districts as
shown on the Official Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply:
A. Designation of district boundaries. Boundaries indicated as approximately
following the center line of streets, highways, alleys, abandoned
railroad rights-of-way, streams, rivers, existing lot lines or Township
boundary lines shall be construed to follow such features indicated.
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
and running parallel to said line.
B. Determination of location of boundaries. Where physical or cultural
features existing on the ground are at variance with those shown on
the Official Zoning Map or if uncertainty exists as to the true location
of a distance boundary line in a particular instance, the Zoning Officer
shall request the Zoning Hearing Board to render its determination
with respect thereto.
