line of the district at such locations runs parallel to the center
line of the road, street or avenue at the distance therefrom indicated
by the number of feet marked. District boundary lines in roads, streets,
avenues, streams or railroad rights-of-way extend along the center
line thereof.

lot located in the more restrictive district for a distance of not
more than 150 feet beyond such district boundary. For parcels in excess
of 10 acres in size, the distance shall be increased to 300 feet.
