The boundaries of these zoning districts are
established on the map entitled "Zoning Map of the Town of Millsboro,"
dated July 1973, which accompanies and is hereby made a part of this
chapter.
Zoning district boundary lines are intended
to follow the center lines of streets and streams and lot or property
lines, as they exist at the time of enactment of this chapter, unless
otherwise indicated by dimensions on the Zoning Map. Any dimensions
shown shall be in feet and measured horizontally and, when measured
from a street, shall be measured from the street right-of-way line
even if the center line of that street is the location of the zoning
district line. The exact location of any disputed zoning district
boundary line shall be determined by the Board of Adjustment.
Where a zoning district boundary line divides
a lot other than by following a stream or street, any use permitted
in either district may be extended not more than 50 feet into the
adjacent district, or to the boundary line of the divided lot, whichever
is the lesser, by the owner or owners of the lot at the time of passage
of this chapter. A use permitted in the zoning district so extended
shall thereafter be permitted use in the extended area. A property
owner, however, shall be permitted only one option, after which the
lot use shall be governed by the regulations of the zoning district
to which the portion of the lot shall have been annexed by such extension.
