409; 7-2-2001 by Ord. No. 418]
The boundary lines of all zones are shown on
a map attached to and made a part of this chapter and known as the
"Zoning Map of Tobyhanna Township," dated 2001. Said map and all notations
and references thereon are hereby incorporated and declared to be
a part of this chapter.
Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries
of any district as shown on the Zoning Map, the Zoning Hearing Board,
upon written application or upon its own motion, shall determine the
location of such boundaries. Unless otherwise noted or fixed by dimensions
on the map, such boundaries are intended to follow the center lines
of streets, roads and watercourses, or lines parallel thereto; property
lines; and/or ridge lines.
Where a district boundary line divides a lot
which was in single ownership and of record at the time of enactment
of this chapter, the uses of the district which covers the larger
or largest portion of the lot shall be permitted by special exception
permit to extend beyond the district boundary a distance not greater
than 100 feet.
