Where uncertainty exists with respect to any boundary of any
of the aforesaid districts as shown on the Zoning Map, the following
rules shall apply:
A. Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following
the center lines or right-of-way lines of streets, highways, public
utility easements, or watercourses, said boundaries shall be construed
to be coincident with such lines. Such boundaries shall be deemed
to be automatically moved if a center line or right-of-way line of
such street, highway, public utility or watercourse is moved a maximum
of 50 feet.
B. Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following
the Town boundary line, property lines, lot lines, or projections
thereof, said boundaries shall be construed to be coincident with
such lines or projections thereof.
C. Where district boundaries are so indicated that they are approximately
parallel to the Town boundary line, property lines, lot lines, right-of-way
lines, easements, watercourses, or projections thereof, said boundaries
shall be construed as being parallel thereto and at such distances
therefrom as indicated on the Zoning Map or as shall be determined
by the use of the scale shown on the Zoning Map.
D. Where a district boundary line divides a lot in a single ownership
or joint ownership of record at the time such line is established,
the regulations for the less-restricted portion of such lot shall
extend not more than 30 feet into the more-restricted portion.
E. In all other cases, where not dimensioned, the location of boundaries
shown on the map shall be determined by the use of the scale appearing
thereon, but in no instance will a district be less than the specified
minimum lot depth shown for each district in the Density Control Schedule.
