(A) Where a uncertainty exists as to the exact boundaries of zones and districts as shown on the zoning district map, the following rules shall be used by the zoning administrator to interpret the exact location of the zoning district boundaries shown:
(B) Where a zoning district boundary approximately follows a street, alley or railroad, the center line of the street or railroad right-of-way is the boundary of the district.
(C) Where a zoning district boundary approximately follows a property line or a series of property lines, such line or lines is the boundary of the district.
(D) Where a zoning district boundary approximately follows a stream or shore line of a body of water, that stream or shore line at pool, as defined on the date this chapter is enacted, is the boundary of the district.
(E) Where a zoning district boundary does not clearly follow any of the features mentioned above, its exact location on the ground shall be determined by measurement according to the zoning district map scale. In any case, where the exact location of a boundary is not clear, the Board of Adjustment shall use these rules to determine the exact location upon application by the Planning Commission or Administrator for an original interpretation.
(F) Where a designated "zone" is a line along a roadway, street or railroad, the center line of the roadway, street or railroad shall also be the center line of the zone.
(G) When a zone or district boundary line divides a lot which was in single ownership at the time and passage of this chapter, the zoning administrator may permit, the extension of the zoning district for either portion of the lot not to exceed 50 feet beyond the zone or district line into the remaining portion of the lot.
