Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of any of the aforesaid districts as shown on the Building Zone Map accompanying and made a part of this chapter, the following rules shall apply:

Where district boundaries are so indicated that they are approximately parallel to the center lines or street lines of streets, such district boundaries shall be construed as being parallel thereto and at such distances therefrom as indicated on the Building Zone Map. If no distance is given, such dimension shall be determined by the use of the scale shown on said Building Zone Map.

Vacation of public ways. 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 be automatically extended to the center of such vacation and all area included in the vacation shall then and henceforth be subject to all regulations of the extended districts.
B. 
All lands within the Incorporated Village of Lake Grove which are not shown on the Building Zone Map as specifically included within the boundaries of B Residence 1 District shall be classed as lying and being within the boundaries of B Residence 1 District.

Except as otherwise provided in this chapter:
A. 
Conformity of buildings and land. No building, structure or premises shall be used or occupied, and no building or part thereof or other structure shall be erected, moved, placed, enlarged or altered, except in conformity with the regulations herein specified for the district in which it is located.
B. 
Conformity of buildings. No building, structure or premises shall be erected, altered or used so as to produce greater heights, smaller yards or less unoccupied area, and no building shall be occupied by more families than prescribed for such building, structure or premises for the district in which it is located.
C. 
Conformity of open spaces. No yard, court or open space or part thereof shall be included as a part of the yard, court or open space similarly required for any other building, structure or premises under this chapter.
A. 
Lots in two districts. Where a district boundary line as established in this chapter divides a lot which was in single and separate ownership on the effective date of this chapter, viz, June 19, 1969, the Village Board may permit the less restricted use to extend to the whole or any part of such lot.
B. 
Lots in business or industrial districts adjacent to a residential district. Where a lot in a business or industrial district abuts a lot in a residential district, there shall be provided along such abutting lines a yard equal in width or depth to that required in the residential district. In addition, in order to screen and protect nearby residential uses, the Planning Board of the Village of Lake Grove may require the construction and maintenance of a planting strip of evergreens or other plants or the construction and maintenance of a substantial sightly fence not less than four feet high in such location as the Planning Board directs. Where the transitional yard is located within a J Business 3 Zone, it shall be governed by the transitional standards set forth under § 175-45, Side yards, and § 175-46, Rear yard.
[Amended 7-22-2004 by L.L. No. 4-2004]
C. 
Front yard transition. Where the frontage on one side of a street between two intersecting streets is zoned partly as residential and partly as business or industrial, the front yard depth in the business or industrial district shall be equal to the required front yard depth of the residential district for a distance of 50 feet into the business or industrial district.
D. 
Garage entrances. No public or private garage for more than five motor vehicles shall have a driveway or passageway for motor vehicles within 25 feet of a residential district.
E. 
Parking areas and driveways abutting residence district. Whenever an off-street parking area or a driveway to an off-street parking area is hereafter established in other than a residence district so as to abut the side or rear line of a lot in a residence district, a solid evergreen planting strip or a substantial sightly stockade-type fence or similar type fence on steel posts, or both, or a concrete or fabricated wall as may be required by the Planning Board, which obstructs the view of the parking area or driveway, not less than four feet high and not more than six feet high, shall be constructed and maintained along said side or rear lot line up to, but not beyond, the building setback line; provided, however, that where any use or district regulation requires a greater requirement, the greater requirement shall govern. Where the transitional yard is located within a J Business 3 Zone, it shall be governed by the standards set forth under § 175-45, Side yards, and § 175-46, Rear yard. In all districts, the lighting, including any permitted illuminated sign, in any off-street parking area or driveway shall be arranged so that there will be no annoying glare directed or reflected toward residence buildings or residence districts.[1]
