as amended and certified by the Town Clerk. Said map, together with
everything shown thereon and all amendments thereto, is hereby adopted
and is declared to be an appurtenant part of this chapter.
Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of any
of the aforesaid districts as shown on the Zoning Map, the following
rules shall apply:
A. Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following
the center lines or right-of-way lines of streets, highways, public
utility easements or watercourses, said boundaries shall be construed
to be coincident with such lines.
B. Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following
the Town boundary line, property lines, lot lines or projections thereof,
said boundaries shall be construed to be coincident with such lines
or projections thereof.
C. Where district boundaries are so indicated that they are approximately
parallel to the Town boundary line, property lines, lot lines, right-of-way
lines or projections thereof, said boundaries shall be construed as
being parallel thereto and at such distances therefrom as indicated
on the Zoning Map or as shall be determined by the use of the scale
shown on the Zoning Map.
D. Where a district boundary line divides a lot in a single or joint
ownership of record at the time such line is established, the regulations
for the less restricted portion of such lot shall extend not more
than 30 feet into the more restricted portion.
E. In all other cases, where not dimensioned, the location of boundaries
shown on the map shall be determined by the use of the scale appearing
thereon, but in no instance will a district depth be less than the
specified minimum lot depth shown for each district in the Density
Control Schedule.
F. District boundaries may be coterminous with drainage ridge lines
as part of sanitary sewer engineering studies. The engineering drawings
should be checked to determine the sewer districts as determined by
gravity flow.
Any land use not specifically listed as permitted in this Zoning
Code is prohibited.
