RE: Right -of -Way Dedication for Foxchase Landing Final Plat
To Whom It May Concern:
There is currently a 0.184 acre parcel knows as Tax Map /Parcel 56G/A2 currently owned by 250 West
Holdings LLC. This portion of land was approved with the final plat for the Foxchase subdivision in 2003
with the notation that it is "reserved for future dedication to public use upon demand of the County." The
owner at that time did sign that plat thus permitting that parcel to be developed for public use upon the
demand of the County. The adjacent parcels are being proposed to be developed as Foxchase Landing, thus
will need to access the existing public roads in the existing Foxchase subdivision through the 0.184 acre
parcel that was "reserved for future dedication to public use upon the demand of the County." The
preliminary plat for Foxchase Landing was approved showing the roads in the Foxchase subdivision
connecting to the proposed subdivision via this .184 acre parcel of land. The 0.184 acres is intended to be
right -of way (ROW) for road construction and other infrastructure improvements and nothing else.
The final plat currently under review by the Department of Community Development for Foxchase Landing is
showing that public streets be established. This plat will be required to state that all roads will be dedicated to
public use. The Department of Community Development and the Virginia Department of Transportation are
reviewing the plans for these roads. The plat will not be signed until those plans are acceptable to both the
Department of Community Development and the Virginia Department of Transportation. The signature on the
plat by the agent for the Board of Supervisors acts as the County's demand that the area showing ROW is
now dedicated to public use for the construction of the roads and any other infrastructure improvements
needed. Thus the act of approving the plat by the County is the demand that it be dedicated to public use as
ROW and does not need the signature of the owner since that signature was given in 2003.

Francis H MacCall
