Said districts are bounded and defined as shown on a map entitled

with all explanatory matter thereon, is hereby made a part of this
chapter. The Zoning Map shall show the effective date of this chapter
and of each subsequent amendment to said map and shall be duly certified
by the Town Clerk.
Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of the
various districts, as shown on the Zoning Map, the following rules
shall apply:
A. Where the designation on the Zoning Map indicates a boundary which
is a street or public right-of-way, the road right-of-way of the road
shall be construed to be the boundary.
B. Where the designation on the Zoning Map indicates a boundary approximately
upon a lot line, such lot line shall be construed to be the boundary.
C. Distances shown on the Zoning Map are perpendicular distances from
road right-of-way lines measured to the district boundary, which boundaries
in all cases where distances are given are parallel to the road right-of-way.
D. In any case where a zoning district boundary is in question, the
Code Enforcement Officer shall determine the location of such district
boundary by the use of the graphic scale.
E. Lots divided by district boundaries. Where a lot is divided by any
zoning district boundary so as to be in more than one zoning district
and where such lot was an existing lot when such district boundary
was established, a conforming use, occupying 50% or more of the area
of said lot and having street frontage in the district where permitted,
may be extended on such lot not more than 25 feet (measured perpendicular
to the district boundary) into any district where such use is not
permitted or to the property line if the district boundary is within
50 feet; in either case, all provisions of this chapter must be complied
with.
