§ 140-4 Location of districts.

The location and boundaries of these districts shall be as shown on the Zoning Map of Barre dated October 28, 2019, being the most recent revision of prior Town of Barre Zoning Maps, which shall be on file in the office of the Town Clerk.

[Amended 6-15-2021 ATM, Art. 28]

The additional information shown on the map is for informational purposes only and is not to be used as reflecting any Town Meeting action or approval as to the Town boundaries, road gates, roads, discontinued roads, scenic roads, railroads, Commonwealth of Massachusetts lands, cemeteries, mass Audubon land, landfill, water bodies, streams, or public water supply wells.

In order to determine the status of roads, within the Town, it would require independent research.

§ 140-5 Interpretation of district boundaries.

Where a right-of-way, street or watercourse is shown on the map as a district boundary, the center line thereof is the actual boundary.

Where a district boundary is shown approximately parallel to a street, it shall be deemed parallel to the exterior line of the right-of-way of the street and at such distance therefrom as indicated on the Zoning Map.

Where district boundary lines specifically follow private, public or institutional property lines, said boundaries shall be considered to be fixed as of the date said districts were established.
