Editor's Note: The Zoning Map is on file in the Town offices.
A. 
In making a determination where uncertainty exists as to boundaries of any of the zoning districts shown of the Town Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply:
(1) 
Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following the center line or right-of-way line of streets, alleys, or highways, such lines shall be construed to be district boundaries.
(2) 
Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following a stream, lake or other body of water, such stream center line, lake or body of water shall be construed to be such district boundaries (unless otherwise noted).
(3) 
Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be district boundaries.
(4) 
Where district boundaries are not indicated as approximately following the items listed in Subsection A(1), (2) and (3) above, or is not designated on the Zoning Map, the boundary line shall be determined by the use of the scale designated on the Town Zoning Map.
(5) 
Whenever any street, alley or other public way is abandoned in the manner authorized by law, the district adjoining each side of such street, alley or public way shall be automatically extended to the center of the former right-of-way and all of the area included in the abandoned right-of-way shall henceforth be subject to all regulations on the extended districts.
B. 
In the event that none of the above rules are applicable, or in the event that further clarification or definition is considered necessary or appropriate, the location of a district boundary shall be determined by the Zoning Board of Appeals.
C. 
Building rights may be transferred between contiguous districts which have the same density and are of one ownership. In no case shall the use be transferred between one zone district and another.
The boundaries within the Town of the land use areas established by the Official Adirondack Park Land Use and Development Plan Map, as may be from time to time amended, pursuant to Subdivision 2 of Section 805 of the Adirondack Park Agency Act, are indicated by the separate map entitled "Adirondack Park Land Use and Development Plan Map of the Town of Bolton" dated with the effective date of this chapter, which accompanies this chapter, and which is hereby adopted and declared to be part of this chapter, and hereafter known as the "Park Plan Map." Any change of the boundaries within the Town of a land use area by an amendment of the Official Adirondack Park Land Use and Development Plan Map pursuant to Subdivision 2 of Section 805 of the Adirondack Park Agency Act shall take effect for the purposes of this chapter concurrently with that amendment without further action, and the Park Plan Map shall be promptly changed in accordance with that amendment. The amendment provisions of Article XI of this chapter do not apply to the Park Plan Map which is amended only pursuant to the provisions of the Adirondack Park Agency Act. Copies of the Park Plan Map which may from time to time be published and distributed are accurate only as of the date of their printing and shall bear words to that effect.
