The locations and boundaries of such districts shall be as shown
upon the map attached to and hereby made a part of this chapter, which shall be designated "Zoning Map of the Borough of
East Greenville," hereinafter referred to in this chapter as "Zoning
Map." Said map and all the notations, references and other data thereon
shall be as much a part of this chapter as if fully described herein.
The boundaries between districts are, unless otherwise indicated,
either the center lines of streets, lanes, watercourses and rights-of-way
of power lines and other public utilities or such lines extended or
lines parallel thereto. Where the boundaries of a single district
are indicated as including directly opposite sides of a street, land,
lake or watercourse or right-of-way of a power line or other public
utility for any portion of its length, the district so indicated shall
be construed to apply to the entire bed of such street, lane, lake
or watercourse or right-of-way of such power line, railroad or other
public utility lying within such portion of its length. Where uncertainty
exists as to the location of any said boundaries as shown on the Zoning
Map, the following rules shall apply:
A. Where a district boundary is indicated as approximately following
the center line of a street, lane, lake or watercourse or right-of-way
of a power line or other public utility, such center line shall be
construed to be such boundary.
B. Where a district boundary is indicated as approximately following
a lot line or other property lines, such lot line shall be construed
to be such boundary.
C. Where a district boundary divides a lot or runs through undivided
property, the location of such boundary, unless otherwise specified
by figures on the Zoning Map, shall be determined by the use of the
scale appearing on said map.
D. Where figures are shown on the Zoning Map between a street and a
district boundary, they shall indicate that the district boundary
runs parallel to the street line at a distance therefrom equivalent
to the number of feet so indicated, unless specified. Where scaled
distances do not agree with such figures, the figures shall control.
Whenever federal, state or Borough-owned property or property
owned by any federal or state agency or any political subdivision
thereof is included in one or more zoning districts, it shall be subject
to the provisions of this chapter only insofar as permitted by the
Constitution and laws of the United States of America and of the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania. In the case of municipally owned property, the provisions
of this chapter shall not apply.
