The locations and boundaries of each land use
district listed as part of this chapter are hereby established as
shown on the map entitled "Land Use Map of the Town of Corinth." Said
map, together with all explanatory matter thereon and all amendments
thereto, is hereby adopted and declared to be a part of this chapter
and may be amended in the same manner as any other part of this chapter.
Said map shall be kept up to date and shall be located in the Town
Clerk's office for the use and benefit of the public.
Where uncertainty exists with respect to the
boundary of any district as shown on the Town of Corinth Land Use
Map, the following rules shall apply:
A. Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately
following the center lines of right-of-way lines of streets, highways,
railroads or public utility easements, said boundaries shall be construed
to be coincident with such lines.
B. Where district boundaries are indicated to be approximately
parallel to the center lines of right-of-way lines of streets, highways,
railroads or public utility easements, said boundaries shall be construed
as being parallel thereto. These boundaries shall also be at such
distances as are indicated on the Land Use Map or as shall be determined
by the scale shown on the Land Use Map.
C. Where district boundaries are so indicated as approximately
following the Town boundary line, lot lines or projections thereof,
said boundaries shall be construed to be coincident with such lines
or projections thereof.
D. Where district boundaries are so indicated to be approximately
parallel or offset to the Town boundary line, property lines, lot
lines or projections thereof, said boundaries shall be construed as
being parallel thereto and at such distances therefrom as are indicated
on the Land Use Map.
E. Where a street, highway, railroad, public utility
easement, center line or right-of-way line is coincident with a land
use boundary line and varies from the actual on-the-ground physical
monument or mark, then such on-the-ground physical monument shall
determine said land use boundary.
F. Where a district boundary line divides a lot in single
or joint ownership at the time such line is adopted, the regulations
for the less restricted portion of such lot may extend not more than
30 feet into the more restricted portion. This provision stands, provided
the lot has frontage on a street in the less restricted district.
(This does not apply in the Adirondack Park where such line constitutes
a state-designated land use area boundary.) Where uncertainty exists
in determining the precise location of any district boundary line,
the Zoning Board of Appeals shall interpret the intent and purpose
of the Land Use Map.
G. In the event that none of the above rules is 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.
Land use and development in the portion of the
Town of Corinth that lies within the Adirondack Park is subject to
the regulations of Subdivision 2 of § 809 of the Adirondack Park
Agency Act and § 24-0801(2) of the Freshwater Wetlands Act.
