§ 7A-16. RULES OF 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:
   (1)   Boundaries indicated as approximately following the center lines of streets, highways, or alleys shall be construed to follow such center lines;
   (2)   Boundaries indicated as approximately following platted lot lines shall be construed as following such lot lines;
   (3)   Boundaries indicated as approximately following Town limits shall be construed as following Town limits;
   (4)   Boundaries indicated as approximately following the center lines of streams, rivers, canals, lakes, or other bodies of water shall be construed to follow such center lines;
   (5)   Boundaries indicated as parallel to or extensions of features indicated in divisions (1) through (4) above shall be so construed. Distances not specifically indicated on the official zoning map shall be determined by the scale of the map;
   (6)   In cases where the actual location of physical features varies from those shown on the official zoning map, or in other circumstances not covered by divisions (1) through (5) above, the Board of Adjustment shall interpret the district boundaries; and
   (7)   Where a district boundary divides a lot which was in single ownership on September 26, 1972, the Board of Adjustment may permit, as a special exception, the extension of the regulations for either portion of the lot not to exceed 30 feet beyond the district line into the remaining portion of the lot.
