[Ord. No. 2018-2, 11/5/2018]
For the interpretation of zoning district boundaries, the following
subsections shall apply if or when a determination is not made by
the Zoning Officer.
2.
Guidelines.
A.
Zoning district boundary lines are intended to follow or parallel
the center line of streets, streams and railroads; and the lot or
property lines as they exist on a recorded deed or plan in the Luzerne
County Recorder of Deeds Office at the time of adoption of this chapter,
unless such zoning district boundary lines are fixed by dimensions
as shown on the Official Zoning Map.
B.
Where a zoning district boundary is not fixed by dimensions and where
it approximately follows lot lines, and does not scale more than 10
feet therefrom, such lot lines shall be construed to be such boundaries
unless specifically shown otherwise.
C.
If the guidelines as stated above fail to provide and establish the
boundary of a zoning district, a survey of the property or area of
land in question shall be made by a registered surveyor, with the
cost of the survey paid by the party who is questioning or contesting
the boundary location.
