Section 6-300 ZONING DISTRICT: INTERPRETATION OF BOUNDARIES - Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of any of the districts indicated on the Official Forest Home Township Zoning Map, a determination shall be made as to the exact boundaries by the Zoning Board of Appeals. The Zoning Board of Appeals shall use the following rules in making their determination:

1. Where district boundaries are indicated as being located along highway center lines or right-of-way lines, such center lines or right-of-way lines shall be construed to be the boundaries.

2. Where district boundaries are indicated as being located along section lines, quarter-section lines, platted lot lines, or other survey lines, such lines shall be construed to be said boundaries.

3. Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately parallel to street or highway center lines or right-of-way lines, or to section lines, quarter-section lines or other survey lines, such boundaries shall be construed to be parallel thereto and at such distance as indicated on the Zoning District Map.

Section 6-503
4. Where the boundary of a district follows the shore line of any river or stream, the boundary lines shall be interpreted as following such shore line and in the event of change in shore line shall be construed as moving with said shore line.

5. Whenever any street, alley or other public right-of-way, or railroad right-of-way, is vacated by official action, the zoning district adjoining each side of such rightof-way shall be automatically extended to the center of such vacation, and all areas included in the vacation shall then be subject to all appropriate regulations of the extended districts.

Section 6-301 Determinations by Township Zoning Board of Appeals - All questions concerning the exact location of any Zoning District not clearly described shall be determined by the Zoning Board of Appeals consistent with the purposes of this Ordinance upon written application through the office of the Zoning Administrator, or upon its own motion.

Section 6-302 Determinations will be based on the least intensive use.
