boundary streets.
C. Where district boundaries are approximately parallel to a
street, highway, road, alley, railroad right-of-way or public water,
the distance of such boundaries from the centerline thereof shall be,
unless otherwise shown by dimension, the median block line.
D. In unsubdivided property or where a district boundary divides
a subdivided lot, the location of such boundary, unless the same is in-
dicated by dimensions shall be determined by the use of a scale appear-
ing on a district map, where a district boundary divides a platted lot,
the zone classification of the greater portion shall prevail throughout
the lot.
E. In case any further uncertainty exists, the Board of Adjust-
ment shall interpret the intent of the district map as to location of
such boundaries.
