The locations and boundaries of these districts so established are bounded and defined as shown on the map, entitled "Village of Beulah Zoning District Map," which accompanies and is hereby declared to be a part of this Ordinance with the same force and effect as if the districts shown thereon were fully set forth by legal description or metes and bounds herein. A current and up-to-date Village of Beulah Zoning Districts Map, with all notations and amendments noted, shall be kept on file in the office of the Village Clerk, and this map shall be the final authority as to the current zoning status of land, buildings and other structures in the Village, subject to interpretation by the Zoning Board of Appeals.

4.3 INTERPRETATION OF ZONING DISTRICT BOUNDARIES

Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of any of the districts indicated on the Zoning Districts Map, the following rules shall apply:

A. Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately coterminous with street or

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.
