   (C)   Boundaries indicated as approximately following city boundaries shall be construed to follow city boundaries;
   (D)   Boundaries indicated as watercourses shall be construed to follow the centerline of the watercourses and in the event of changing watercourses shall be construed as following the changing watercourses;
   (E)   Boundaries indicated as approximately following property lines or section lines or other lines of a survey shall be construed to follow the property lines as of the effective date of Ord. 80-133;
   (F)   Boundaries indicated as parallel to or extensions of features indicated in divisions (A) through (E) of this section shall be so construed. Distances not specifically indicated on the zoning map shall be determined by the scale of the map; and
