[Amended 6-13-2011 by L.L. No. 4-2011]
Said districts are bounded and defined as shown
on the map titled "Zoning Map of the Town of Wappinger, New York,"
prepared by Frederick P. Clark Associates, Inc., dated April 28, 2011,
and as amended from time to time, which map, with all the explanatory
matter thereon, is hereby made a part of this chapter.
Where uncertainty exists as to the locations
of any boundaries shown on the Zoning Map, the following rules shall
apply:
A. District boundary lines are intended to follow lot
lines or the center line of streets, rights-of-way or watercourses
or be parallel or perpendicular thereto, unless such district boundary
lines are indicated by dimensions shown on the Zoning Map.
B. Where district boundary lines divide a lot or unsubdivided
property, the location of any such boundary, if not indicated by dimensions,
shall be determined by the use of the map scale appearing thereon.
C. Where such boundaries are indicated as approximately
following the property liens of parks or other large public holdings,
such lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.
D. Where district boundaries are so indicated that they
approximately follow the edge of lakes, ponds, reservoirs or other
bodies of water, the mean high water lines thereof shall be construed
to be the district boundaries, except that the regulations of the
most restrictive district on the edge of such a body of water shall
apply to the area within the mean high water line and the body of
water thereof.
E. Any boundary extending into the Hudson River or other
bodies of water bordering the Town shall be deemed to extend to the
boundary of the Town, unless otherwise indicated.
F. If the district classification of any land is in question,
it shall be deemed to be in the most restrictive adjoining district.
Where a lot is divided by one or more zoning
district or municipal boundary lines, each portion of such lot and
any building or land use established thereon shall comply with the
regulations of the district in which it is located.
For purposes of these regulations, where residence districts are referred as more restrictive or less restrictive, the designation shall refer the order in which residence districts are set forth in §
240-6, the first named being the most restrictive.
