                      B.  Where district boundaries are so indicated that they approximately follow the lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be said boundaries.

                      C.  Where district boundaries are so indicated that they are approximately parallel to the center lines or street lines of streets or the center lines or right-of-way lines of highways, such district boundaries shall be construed as being parallel thereto and at such distance as given, such dimension shall be determined by the use of the scale shown on said zoning map.
