A.
There shall be only one Official Zoning Map, which shall be kept
in the office of the Town Clerk, and it shall bear certification that
it is the Official Zoning Map of the Town and its date of adoption.
Said Zoning Map, which shall show the boundaries of the zoning districts
herein established, together with all explanatory matter thereon,
is hereby adopted by reference and declared to be a part of this chapter.
B.
Said Zoning Map shall be on material suitable for reproduction. Copies
of this map, which may from time to time be published and sold, would
be accurate only as of the date of their printing and shall bear words
to that effect.
C.
Changes made in zoning district boundaries or other matters portrayed
on the Zoning Map under the provisions set forth herein shall be permanently
affixed to the Zoning Map promptly after a local law amendment has
been approved by the Town Board and shall convey information as to
the date and nature of the change. No amendment to this chapter which
involves matters portrayed on the Zoning Map shall become effective
until such change and entry has been made on said Zoning Map and has
been attested by the Town Clerk.
Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of any
of the zoning districts as shown on the Official Zoning Map, the following
rules shall apply:
A.
Boundaries indicated as approximately following the center lines
of streets or highways shall be construed to follow such center lines.
B.
Boundaries indicated as approximately following lot lines shall be
construed as following such lot lines.
C.
Boundaries indicated as approximately following the municipal limits
of the Town shall be construed as following such municipal limits.
D.
Boundaries indicated as following the center lines of streams or
other water bodies shall be construed to follow such center lines.
F.
Boundaries indicated as part of the EPOD boundary shall be based on an Official Map or other law identified in Chapter 138, Environmental Protection Overlay Districts, of the Mendon Town Code. Field investigations or other environmental analyses may be required to determine whether or not any portion of a particular piece of property is to be included within the EPOD.
G.
Where physical or cultural features on the ground are at variance with those shown on the Official Zoning Map or involve circumstances otherwise not covered by Subsections A through E above, the Zoning Board of Appeals shall interpret the district regulations and establish the precise district boundary or overlay boundary on any site involved with an application made under the provisions of this chapter.
