Where the boundary lines are shown approximately on the location of property or lot lines, and the exact location of property, lot or boundary lines is not indicated by means of figures, then the property or lot lines shall be the boundary lines.
C. 
Boundary lines located outside of such street lines and shown approximately parallel thereto shall be construed as parallel to such street lines, and figures placed upon said map between such boundary lines and street lines are the distances in feet of such boundary lines from such street lines, such distances being measured at right angles to such street lines unless otherwise indicated.

In all cases which are not covered by the provisions of this section, the location of boundary lines shall be determined by the distance in feet, if given, from other lines upon said map or, if distances are not given, then by the scale of said map.

Whenever any uncertainty exists as to the exact location of a boundary line, the location of such line shall be determined by the Building Inspector; provided, however, that any person aggrieved by their decision may appeal to the Zoning Board of Appeals, as provided in § 400-104.
