4.11.1. Interpretations. Where there is any uncertainty as to the intent or actual meaning of any provision of this appendix, or as to the intended location of any zoning district boundary shown on the zoning atlas, the town manager shall make an interpretation of said provision or boundary on request of any person. In making an interpretation of any zoning district boundary, the town manager shall apply the following standards:

(c)

Boundaries indicated as approximately following railroad lines shall be construed to be midway between the main tracks;

(d)

Boundaries indicated as approximately following the shorelines or centerlines of streams, rivers, lakes, or other bodies of water shall be construed as following such shorelines or centerlines; in the event of change in the shoreline or centerline, the boundary shall be construed as moving with the actual shoreline or centerline;

(e)

Boundaries indicated as approximately following designated limits of areas of special flood hazard shall be construed as following such limits, as shown on the official base floodway and floodplain boundary maps and base flood profiles;

(f)

Boundaries indicated as approximately parallel to, or as extensions of, features described in (a) through (g) above shall be so construed; distances not specifically indicated on the zoning atlas shall be determined by reference to the scale of the atlas;

(g)

Where features described in (a) through (f) above, as existing on the ground, are at variance with those indicated on the zoning atlas, or in other circumstances not covered, the board of adjustment.
