highway centerlines or right-of-way lines, such centerlines or right-of-way lines shall be
construed to be said boundaries.
B. Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately coterminous with platted lot
lines, section lines, quarter-section lines, or other survey lines, such lines shall be construed to
be said boundaries.
C. Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately parallel to street or highway
centerlines or right-of-way lines, or to section lines, quarter-section lines or other survey lines,
such boundaries shall be construed to be parallel thereto and at such distance there from as
indicated on the Zoning Districts Map.
D. Where the boundary of a district follows a railroad line, such boundary shall be deemed to
be coterminous with the centerline of the main track or former track of said railroad line.
E. Where the boundary of a district approximately follows the centerline of any river or
stream, the boundary line shall be interpreted as following such centerline of said river or
stream.
F. Where the boundary of a district approximately follows the shoreline of a lake, the
boundary shall be construed as following the ordinary high water mark of the lake.
G. Where the application of these rules leaves a reasonable doubt as to the boundaries of a
district, the interpretation of boundaries shall be by the Zoning Board of Appeals.
