4. Where dimensions are shown on the Zoning Map between a street and a district boundary, they shall indicate that the district boundary runs parallel to the street line at a distance therefrom equivalent to the number of feet so indicated. Where scaled distances do not agree with such figures, the dimensions shall control.
