Sec. 10-122 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:
   a.   Boundaries indicated as approximately following the center lines of streets, highways, or alleys shall be construed to follow such center lines.
   b.   Boundaries indicated as approximately following platted lot lines shall be construed as following such lot lines.
   c.   Boundaries indicated as approximately following Town limits shall be construed as following such Town limits.
   d.   Boundaries indicated as following railroad lines shall be construed to be midway between the main tracks.
   e.   Boundaries indicated as following shore lines shall be construed as moving with the actual shore line, and in the event of change in the shore line shall be construed as moving with the actual shore line; boundaries indicated as approximately following the center lines of streams, lakes, or other bodies of water shall be construed to follow such center lines.
   f.   Boundaries indicated as parallel to or extensions of features indicated in subsections a. through e. above shall be so construed. Distance not specifically indicated on the Official Zoning Map shall be determined by the scale of the map.
   g.   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 a. through f. above, the Plan Commission shall interpret the district boundaries.
   h.   Where a district boundary line divides a lot or parcel of real estate not platted, which was in single ownership at the time of passage of this ordinance, the Board of Zoning Appeals 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.
