"""District boundaries: When the zoning map shows a zoning district boundary as following a particular feature, or reflects a clear intent that the boundary follows the feature, the boundary will be construed as following that feature as it actually exists.Map interpretations: Where any uncertainty exists about a zoning boundary, the actual location of the boundary will be determined by the Zoning Administrator using the following rules of interpretation.(1) A boundary shown on the zoning map as approximately following a river, stream, lake or other watercourse will be construed as following the actual centerline of the watercourse. If, subsequent to the establishment of the boundary, the centerline of the watercourse should move as a result of natural processes (flooding, erosion, sedimentation, etc.), the boundary will be construed as moving with the centerline of the watercourse.(2) A boundary shown on the zoning map as approximately following a ridge line or topographic contour line will be construed as following the actual ridge line or contour line. If, subsequent to the establishment of the boundary, the ridge line or contour line should move as a result of natural processes (erosion, slippage, subsidence, etc.), the boundary will be construed as moving with the ridge line or contour line.(3) A boundary shown on the zoning map as approximately following lot lines or other parcel boundaries assigned by the Will County Supervisor of Assessments will be construed as following such lot lines or parcel boundaries.(4) A boundary shown on the zoning map as approximately following a street or railroad line will be construed as following the centerline of the street or railroad right-of-way.(5) A boundary shown on the zoning map as approximately following the boundary of an adjacent municipality will be construed as following that boundary.(6) A boundary shown on the zoning map as approximately parallel to, or as an apparent extension of, a feature described above will be construed as being actually parallel to, or an extension of, the feature.(7) Zoning boundaries that do not coincide with a property line, parcel boundary, landmark or particular feature will be determined with a scale.(8) It is the intent that the entire unincorporated area of the county, including all land and water areas, rivers, streets, alleys, railroads, and other right-of-ways, be included in the districts established by this zoning ordinance. If any area is not shown on the zoning map as being included in a zoning district, it will be deemed to be classified in the E-1 district until otherwise reclassified by a zoning map amendment in accordance with chapter 155-16.30."""
