The zoning map and all the notations, references and amendments thereto, and other information shown thereon are hereby made a part of this Ordinance the same as if such information set forth on the map were all fully described as set forth herein. The zoning map shall be retained in the office of the Town Clerk. 6.3 Rules Governing Boundaries Where, due to the scale, lack of detail or illegibility of the zoning map, there is uncertainty, contradiction or conflict as to the intended location of any zoning district boundary as shown thereof, the Zoning Enforcement Officer shall make an interpretation of said map upon request of any person. Any person aggrieved by such interpretation may appeal such interpretation to the Board of Adjustment. The Zoning Enforcement Officer and the Board of Adjustment, in interpreting the zoning map or deciding any appeal, shall apply the following standards: .1 Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following the centerlines of streets or highways, street lines, or railroad right-of-way lines or such lines extended, such centerlines, street lines or railroad right-of-way lines shall be construed to be such boundaries. .2 Where district boundaries are so indicated that they approximately follow lot lines; such lot lines shall be construed to be said boundaries. .3 Where district boundaries are so indicated that they are approximately parallel to the centerlines of streets, highways, or railroads, or rights-of-way of same, such district boundaries shall be construed as being parallel thereto and at such distance there from as 20 indicated on the zoning map. If no distance is given, such dimension shall be determined by the use of the scale shown on said zoning map. .4 Where a district boundary line divides a lot in single ownership, the district requirements for the least restricted portion of such lot shall be deemed to apply to the whole thereof, provided that such extensions shall not include any part of such a lot more than thirty-five (35) feet beyond the district boundary line. The term "least restrictive" shall refer to zoning restrictions, not lot or tract size. 21
