Editor's Note: Schedule B, the Zoning Map, is on file in the Township Clerk's office.
Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of any zone as shown on the Zoning Map, the following definition shall govern:
A. 
Zone boundary lines are intended to follow the center lines of streets, streams, railroad rights-of-way and lot or property lines, unless the boundary lines are fixed by dimensions shown on the Zoning Map or as hereinafter set forth.
B. 
Where zone boundary lines are not fixed by dimensions and are so indicated that they appear to be within 10 feet of a lot line as determined by scale from the Zoning Map, such lot line shall be construed to be the boundary line.
C. 
In those instances where zone boundary lines appear as extensions of property lines, and in other instances where the zone boundary line divides a lot, and where the boundary line appears to be more than 10 feet distant from a property line, the location of the boundary line shall be determined by the use of the scale shown on the Zoning Map.
[Amended 12-27-2005 by Ord. No. O-05-48]
Schedule C, Schedule of Area, Yard and Building Requirements, is hereby made a part of this chapter and is included at the end hereof.
