Thanks, Rebecca β we have reviewed the aerials, which really are not helpful β you cannot really see anything from that
era and the tree canopy in that area, including in the gully where the 4 cottages, is too thick.
As for the documentation you found from the 1970s βthe cottages were already constructed at that time. What you are
seeing is Sheriff Bailey's after the fact attempt to get the existing cottages properly permitted. In other words, the
cottages were already in existence - as reflected in the county property records and in all the affidavits we presented β
at the time Sheriff Bailey decided to submit these documents to the County.
Please let me know if it would help to have Bill put that in an affidavit.
Thanks,
Mike

Hello,
I gave Mike a call last week to provide an update on the letter of determination.
We have reviewed the affidavits along with looking at County records and historic aerials.
While the real estate records indicated a year built of 1960 for the structures, that can sometimes be inaccurate so I was
looking for other information to confirm the year built for each structure. In doing so, I found site plan (1975) and
subdivision files (1976) related to the structures and parcels. File numbers and links to the documents can be found
below.

In researching building permits and certificates of occupancy, we found two COs, one from 1975 that appears to be for
one of the rental cottages.
Here is the link to the aerials I reviewed:
https://geoportal.lib.virginia.edu/UVAlmageDiscovery/
We still have a few more records to research on our end and I wanted to let you know where we were in case you had
additional documentation to offer.
Thanks for your patience,
Rebecca
