Establishment. The boundaries of all zone districts shall be shown on the Zoning Map of the Township of Upper Deerfield, dated December 1988, revised to May 2011, which, together with all explanatory matter shown thereon, is hereby adopted by reference and declared to be a part of this chapter.

[Amended 8-2-1990 by Ord. No. 360; 12-19-1991 by Ord. No. 381; 12-17-1992 by Ord. No. 401; 9-1-1994 by Ord. No. 426; 6-5-1997 by Ord. No. 468; 4-2-1998 by Ord. No. 477; 10-19-2000 by Ord.

B. 
Interpretation. Where uncertainty exists as to any of said boundaries as shown on said map, the following rules shall apply:
(1) 
Zone boundary lines are intended to follow center lines of streets and streams, the edges of railroad rights-of-way and lot or property lines as they exist on plats of record at the time of the passage of this chapter, unless such zone boundary lines are fixed by dimensions shown on the Zoning Map.
(2) 
Where such boundaries are not fixed by dimensions and where they approximately follow lot lines and where they do not scale more than 10 feet distant therefrom, such lot lines shall be construed to be such boundaries unless specifically shown otherwise.
(3) 
In unsubdivided land and where a zone boundary divides a lot, the location of such boundary, unless the same is indicated by dimension shown on the map, shall be determined by the use of the scale appearing thereon.
(4) 
Any appeal to utilize land located within a floodplain for a purpose not permitted by this chapter shall be considered by the Planning Board as an application for a use variance as provided in §§ 405-71 and 405-93 through 405-95 of this chapter.[2]
