The Village of Poquott is hereby divided into the following districts:
A - Residence
B - Residence
C - Residence
Said districts are bound and defined as shown on a map entitled "Building Zone Map of the Village of Poquott, Suffolk County, New York," which with all explanatory matter thereon, including the effective date of this chapter, is hereby adopted and made a part of this chapter.[1]
[1]
Editor's Note: The Zoning Map is on file in the Village office and is available for inspection during normal business hours.
Where districts are referred to as "more restrictive" or "less restrictive," the designation shall refer to the order in which the districts are named above, the first name being the most restrictive.
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 streets, rights-of-way, watercourses, or lot lines, or be parallel or perpendicular thereto, unless such district boundary lines are fixed by dimensions, as shown on the Zoning Map.
B. 
Where district boundaries are indicated as following approximately streets or rights-of-way, the center lines thereof shall be construed to be such boundaries.
C. 
Where district boundaries are so indicated that they approximately follow the edge of any pond, the Port Jefferson Harbor and Setauket Harbor 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 thereof. (See map.)
D. 
Where district boundaries are so indicated that they approximately follow lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.
E. 
In subdivided property, or where a district boundary divides a lot, the location of any such boundary, unless the same is indicated by dimensions shown on said map, shall be determined by the use of the map scale shown thereon.
F. 
If the district classification of any land is in question, it shall be deemed to be in the most restrictive district.
Where a lot in one ownership of record at the time of the adoption of this chapter is divided by one or more district boundary lines, the Board of Appeals may permit a limited extension of a use or structure into more restrictive portion of the affected lot, provided:
A. 
The affected lot has frontage on a street in the less restricted district; and
B. 
Conditions and safeguards are attached to such permit to protect existing or prospective development in the more restrictive district.
