§ 2. RULES FOR INTERPRETATION OF DISTRICT BOUNDARIES
Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of districts as shown on the official zoning map, the following rules shall apply:
1.
Boundaries indicated as approximately following the center lines of streets, highways, or alleys shall be construed to follow such center lines;
2.
Boundaries indicated as approximately following platted lot lines shall be construed as following such lot lines;
3.
Boundaries indicated as approximately following city limits shall be construed as following such city limits;
4.
Boundaries indicated as following railroad lines shall be construed to be midway between the main tracks;
5.
Boundaries indicated as approximately following the center lines of streams, rivers, lakes, or other bodies of water shall be construed to follow such center lines;
6.
Boundaries indicated as parallel to or extensions of features indicated in subsections 1 through 5 above shall be so construed. Distances not specifically indicated on the official zoning map shall be determined by the scale of the map;
7.
Where physical or cultural features existing on the ground are at variance with those shown on the official zoning map, or in other circumstances not covered by subsections 1 through 6 above, the board of adjustment shall interpret the district boundaries;
8.
Where a district boundary line divides a lot which was in single ownership at the time of the passage of this ordinance, the board of adjustment may permit, as a special exception, the extension of the regulations for either portion of the lot not to exceed fifty (50) feet beyond the district line into the remaining portion of the lot.
