Title. The location and boundaries of the zoning districts are

[1]
Editor’s Note: The Zoning Map is included as an attachment to this chapter.
2.2.2.
Scale and custody. The Zoning Map shall be drawn to scale of
one inch equals 600 feet with ink in stable material, and shall be
located in the Office of the Building Inspector. Photographic reductions
of this large-scale map may serve as copies of the Zoning Map.
2.2.3.
Changes to map. Any change in the location of boundaries of
a zoning district hereinafter made through the amendments of this
bylaw shall be indicated by the alteration of such map, and the map
thus altered as declared to be part of the bylaw thus amended.
2.2.4.
Boundaries of districts. Where any uncertainty exists with respect
to the boundary of any district as shown on the Zoning Map, the following
rules shall apply:
1.
Where a boundary is indicated as a street, railroad, watercourse
or other body of water, it shall be construed to be the center line
or middle thereof, or where such boundary approximates a Town boundary,
then to the limits of the Town boundary.
2.
Where a boundary is indicated as following approximately or parallel
to a street, railroad, watercourse or other body of water, it shall
be construed to be parallel thereto and at such distance therefrom
as shown on the Zoning Map. If no dimension is given, such distance
shall be determined by the use of the scale shown on the Zoning Map.
3.
Where a dimensional boundary coincides within 10 feet or less with
a lot line, the boundary shall be construed to be the lot line.
4.
Where a boundary is indicated as intersecting the center line of
a street, railroad, watercourse or other body of water, it shall be
construed to intersect at right angles to said center line, or in
the case of a curved center line, at right angles to the tangent to
the curve at the point of intersection.
2.3.1.
Establishment. The Town is also hereby divided into the following
overlay districts. See Section 9.0.
