A. Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately
following the center lines of streets or highways, street lines or

Clerk's office for residential developments, such lot lines shall
be construed to be said boundaries.
C. Where district boundaries are so indicated that they
approximately follow the boundaries of Agricultural District No. 1
of the Town of Moreau, such district boundaries shall be construed
to be said boundaries.
D. Where district boundaries are so indicated that they
are approximately parallel to the center lines or street lines of
streets, or the center lines or right-of-way lines of highways, such
district boundaries shall be constituted as being parallel thereto
and at such distance therefrom as indicated on the Zoning Map. If
no distance is given, such dimension shall be determined by the use
of the scale shown on said Zoning Map.
E. Where the boundary of a district follows a railroad
line, such boundary shall be deemed to be located in the middle of
the main tracks of said railroad line.
F. Where the boundary of a district follows a stream,
lake or other body of water, said boundary line shall be deemed to
be at the limit of the jurisdiction of the Town of Moreau unless otherwise

Department of Environmental Conservation.
I. Whenever any street or other public way is vacated
in the manner authorized by law, the district adjoining each side
of such street or public way shall automatically be extended to the
center of the former right-of-way and all the area included in the
vacation shall then and henceforth be subject to all regulations of
the extended districts.
J. In the event that none of the above rules are applicable,
or in the event that further clarification or definition is considered
necessary or appropriate, the location of a district boundary shall
be determined by the Zoning Board of Appeals.
