A. 
The locations and boundaries of the above zoning districts are hereby established as shown on the Zoning Map, as the same may be amended from time to time, and shall be as much a part of this chapter as if fully described herein.[1]
B. 
The Zoning Map shall be kept on display in the Village Hall and descriptions accompanying enacted amendments to the Zoning Map shall be displayed adjacent to the map until such time as the map is corrected. The Zoning Map shall be the final authority as to the current zoning status in the Village.
Where due to scale, lack of detail or illegibility of the Zoning Map there is uncertainty, contradiction or conflict as to the intended location of any zoning district boundary, the exact location of such boundary shall be determined by the Zoning Administrator. In making such determination, the Zoning Administrator shall consider and apply the following rules of interpretation:
A. 
Where the boundaries are indicated as approximately following streets, alleys or highways, the center lines of said streets, alleys or highways or such lines extended shall be construed to be such boundaries.
B. 
Boundaries indicated as approximately following lot lines shall be construed as following such lot lines.
C. 
Boundaries indicated as approximately following Village boundary lines shall be construed as following such Village boundaries.
D. 
Boundaries indicated as approximately following railroad lines shall be construed as following the center line of the railroad right-of-way.
E. 
Boundaries indicated as approximately parallel to the center lines of streets shall be construed as being parallel thereto and at such distances therefrom as indicated on the Zoning Map. If no distance is given, such dimension shall be determined by the use of scale shown on the Zoning Map.
F. 
Boundaries following the shoreline of a river, lake, bayou or other body of water shall be construed to follow such shorelines, and in the event of a change in the shoreline shall be construed as moving with the actual shoreline.
G. 
Boundaries indicated as approximately following the center lines of rivers, lakes, bayous or other bodies of water shall be construed to follow such center lines.
H. 
In every case where land has not been specifically included with a zoning district, the same is hereby declared to be in the SFR District.
Whenever any street, alley or other public way within the Village is vacated by official governmental action and when the lands within the boundaries thereof attach to and become a part of lands adjoining such street, alley or public way, such lands shall automatically and without further governmental action acquire and be subjected to the same zoning regulations as are applicable to the lands to which same shall attach.
A. 
Whenever any fill is placed in any river, lake, bayou or any other body of water, the land thus created shall automatically and without further governmental action thenceforth acquire and be subjected to the same zoning regulations and be used for the same purposes as are permitted under this chapter for such adjoining lands. No use of the surface of any lake or stream shall be permitted for any purpose not permitted on the land from which the use emanates.
B. 
Any use which is located on or over the surface of any river, lake, bayou or other body of water shall be subject to the same zoning regulations and be used for the same purposes as are permitted under this chapter for the land from which the use emanates.
