McCallum III McCallum & Kudravetz, P.0 250 East High Street Charlottesville, VA 22902 RE: OFFICIAL DETERMINATION OF PARCELS AND DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS -- Tax Map 104, Parcel 8, Scottsville Magisterial District (Property of MeadWestvaco Corporation) Section 10.3.1 Dear Mr. McCallum: The County Attorney and I have reviewed the title information for the above -noted property. It is the County Attorney's advisory opinion and my official determination that Tax Map 104, Parcel 8 is comprised of fifty five (55) separate parcels containing a total of two hundred sixty seven (267) theoretical development rights. The basis for this determination follows. Our records indicate Tax Map 104, Parcel 8 contains 4,041.779 acres and zero dwellings. The property is not in an Agricultural and Forestal District. The most recent recorded instrument for this property is recorded in Deed Book 2425, page 548. This analysis relies heavily on your research and on an unrecorded plat by Carroll Gillispie that is dated July, August and September 1960. The structure of this letter follows the organization of the deed of record in Deed Book 362, page 287 that conveyed the subject property from the Estate of Percy H. Faulconer to the J. S. Purcell Lumber Corporation. The deed identified 32 separate parcels comprising the subject property. The property also contains the Martia Edwards Tract and the Naylor Tract. A description of these parcels is compiled in a chart prepared by your office that consolidated those descriptions and deed references and also calculated the development rights of the parcels. All deeds and plats referenced in the table have been reviewed and verified - I IDEP-1\Community DevelopmentZonrng &Current Development DivisrorrTeteaninations of Parce11,2007t104-8 MeadWestvaco 1-2+Edwams,Naylor.doc MeadWestvaco Corporation August 9, 2007 Page 2 1,TEPTICommunity Development2oning & Current Development DrvrsroniDeterrninatnrns of Parcei12007004-8 MeadWestvaco +2+Edwards+Naylor. doe Parcel as —'Parcel of Acreage Development Development designated Record Rights Rights in D.B. 362, According to According to p. 287 George B. county McCallum (1) 223/528 1171,86 -less 490 retained 681.86 173/27 247 5 5 i plat 61/62 residue >10 173/27 116 (i) i 99/243 ' 35 5 5 2 plat 96/317 — ---------- (ii) -- — - 99/243 — - — - ------------ -- W, — ------- - 5 5 3 plat 96/317 i (plat shows 90 before 9 of 173/27 72 5 5 (c) -plat 127/229 residue > 10 --------- 5 173127 2-7--.2-1— 5 5 (d plat 129/188 6 173/27 138.7 5 (e) metes & residue >10 5 bounds residue> 4 2 122/132 7 173/27 138.7 ----------- 5 metes & residue > 10 5 bounds remnant 131/232 173/27 2321/4 5 (g) plat of (c) & I residue > 10 5 (g) residue > 8 4 combined at 122/171 - — ------------ 9 -- 173/27 200 5 (h) plat 128/350 residue > 10 5 residue > 10 5 (2) 225/305:40 205/424 23.16 5 5 (a) plat 96/317 - — ------- - - - -------- 1,TEPTICommunity Development2oning & Current Development DrvrsroniDeterrninatnrns of Parcei12007004-8 MeadWestvaco +2+Edwards+Naylor. doe MeadWestvaco Corporation August 9, 2007 Page 3 Parcel as Parcel of Acreage Development Development designated Record Rights Rights in D.B. 362, According to According to p, 287 George B.
