(3) Boundaries indicated approximately following City limits shall be construed as following City limits;
(4) Boundaries indicated as following railroad lines shall be construed to be midway between the main tracts;

(6) If any uncertainty remains as to the location of a district boundary, the Zoning Administrator has the duty to determine the exact location and document that boundary location on the Official Zoning Map. The Zoning Administrator has the duty to keep a record of such decisions.
(d) Lot Divided by Zoning District Boundary. Where a district boundary divides a lot in single ownership and of record prior to and continuously since the time the district boundary line was established, the use authorized on and the district requirements of the least restrictive portion of the lot are construed as extending to the entire lot.
