  Unless district boundary lines are fixed by dimensions or otherwise clearly shown or described, and where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of any of the districts as shown on the zoning map, the following rules shall apply: (1) Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following or being at right angles to the center lines of streets, highways, alleys or railroad main tracks, such center lines, or lines at right angles to such center lines, shall be construed to be such boundaries, as the case may be. (2) Where a district boundary is indicated to follow a river, creek or branch or other body of water, said boundary shall be construed to follow the center line at low water or at the limits of the jurisdiction, and in the event of change in the shoreline such boundary shall be construed as moving with the actual shoreline. (3) If no distance, angle, curvature, description or other means is given to determine a boundary line accurately and the foregoing provisions do not apply, the same shall be determined by the use of the scale shown on the zoning map. In case of subsequent dispute, the matter shall be referred to the board of zoning appeals which shall determine the boundary.
