137 Section 8. Interpretation of Zone Boundaries. In the interpretation of the zone boundaries
138 fixed for any of the zones shown in the Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply:
139
140 A. Where zone boundaries are so indicated that they approximately follow the center of streets or
141 highways, street lines or highway right-of-way lines shall be construed to be boundaries;
142
143 B. Where zone boundaries are so indicated that they approximately follow the lot lines, such lot lines
144 shall be construed to be boundaries;
145
146 C. Where zone boundaries are so indicated that they are approximately parallel to the center lines or
147 right-of-way lines of streets and highways, such zone boundaries shall be construed as being parallel
148 thereto and at such distance therefrom as indicated on the zoning map. If no distance is given, such
149 dimension shall be determined by the use of the scale shown in said zoning map;
150
151 D. Where the boundary of a zone follows a stream, lake, or other bodies of water, said boundary lines
152 shall be deemed to be at the limit of the political jurisdiction of the community unless otherwise
153 indicated;

169 lot depth of the lots involved within each particular city block. Where, however, any lot has a depth
170 greater than said average, the remaining portion of said lot shall be construed as covered by the
171 one-lot deep zoning district if the remaining portion has an area less than fifty percent (50%) of the
172 total area of the entire lot. If the remaining portion has an area equivalent to fifty percent or more
173 of the total area of the lot, then the average lot depth shall apply to the lot which shall become a lot
174 divided and covered by two or more different zoning districts, as the case may be;
