H. Burch and George W. White and being that portion now remaining of a tract of 284.5 acres conveyed by the deed of record in Deed Book 99, page 396. County real estate records confirm the location of the tract as it is sketched on the attached tax map. On the basis of this deed the 40 -acre tract is determined to be a parcel of record. The tract is identified as Parcel A on the attached key. No plat of the property was found. Deed Book 245, page 70, dated April 19, 1937, conveyed 2 parcels from Aubrey M. Mays & Lottie M. Mays to John W. Mays. The parcels are described as follows: (1) Two certain tracts, aggregating 161 1/2 acres lying on both sides of the Southern Railroad, one tract consisting of 110'12 acres and the other 51 acres according to a plat by J. C. Mann of record in Deed Book 120, page 299. On the basis of this deed it is determined that each of these parcels is a parcel of record. The 110.5 -acre tract is identified as Parcel B on the key. The 51 -acre tract is identified as Parcel C on the key. (2) That certain tract containing 81 11/60 acres exclusive of a graveyard lot of one forth of an acre described by reference to Deed book 125, page 334. The original 81 -acre tract consisted of the Parcels now designated as T.M. 88- 7, 7AI, 7D, 7F, 7G & 7H as well as the 17.71 - acre tract identified as Parcel D on the Key. Excepted from the parcels described above and not conveyed by this deed are the 63.22 acres conveyed by Deed Book 163, page 485. The 63,22 -acre parcel is a portion of the 81 11/60 parcel. On the basis of this deed the calculated 17.96 -acre residue of the 81.18 -acre tract is determined to be a parcel of record.

Deed Book 304, page 159, dated February 21, 1953, conveyed a strip of land from John W. Mays & Evelyn P. Mays to Southern Railway Company. The strip of land contained 0.29 of an acre.

This transaction had no effect on the parcels. Deed Book 1801, page 643, dated March 19, 1999 contains a boundary line agreement between Nimrod T. Clark and Michael W. Hudson. The transaction is shown on a plat by Roger W. Ray & Assoc., Inc that is dated December 16, 1998. The plat shows Parcel X, containing 0.17 acres being conveyed from T.M. 100-3 to T.M. 100-1. The plat notes that no development rights are conveyed with Parcel X and that T.M. 100-1 contains 217.14 +/- acres. This transaction increased the area of Parcel B but had no effect on the status of the separate parcels of record described above or on their development rights. The parcels are entitled to the noted development rights if all other applicable regulations can be met. These development rights may only be utilized within the bounds of the original parcel with which they are associated. These development rights are theoretical in nature but do represent the maximum number of lots containing less than twenty one acres allowed to be created by right. In addition to the development right lots, the parcel may create as many smaller parcels containing a minimum of twenty-one acres as it has land to make. If you are aggrieved by this determination, you have a right to appeal it within thirty days of the date notice of this determination is given, in accordance with Section 15.2-2311 of the Code of Virginia.
