(3) Boundaries indicated as approximately following city corporation limits shall be construed as following such corporation line;
(4) Boundaries indicated as approximately following the center fines of streams, rivers, or other bodies of water shall be construed to follow such centerlines;
(5) Boundaries indicated as parallel to or extensions of features indicated in divisions (B)(1) through (B)(4) above, shall be so construed. Distances shall be determined by the scale of the city zoning map unless specifically shown on the map; and
(6) All questions not covered by divisions (B)(1) through (B)(5) above concerning the exact location of any district boundary line or portion thereof, shall be determined by the Board of Adjustment.

(D) (1) Where the legal limit of the city as portrayed on the city zoning map divides a lot of single ownership which was recorded at the time of this chapter, the land owner may permit the extension of the regulations for either a portion or both portions of the lot.
(2) If the owner extends the regulations into the portion that lies outside the city limits, then regulations must be extended into that portion lying within city limits.
