Boundary Line Adjustment Conditional Approval
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Birdsall,
On February 12, 2013, you contacted Virginia Outdoors Foundation (VOF) staff concerning a
Boundary Line Adjustment (BLA) Application with Albemarle County on the two parcels that you
own noted above. The proposed BLA is to adjust the boundaries of Tax Map Parcel 29 -8J (for
sale) and combine the remaining portion of the parcel into Tax Map 29 -9. Based on verbal
explanation from your attorney and surveyor, VOF understands that while the boundaries of the
tax maps are changing in order to satisfy County ordinance requirements, the boundaries of the
two separate VOF easements will remain the same.
VOF staff and counsel have reviewed the draft plat and support the BLA as proposed. Therefore,
the BLA is hereby approved with the following conditions:
1. VOF requires that both the Certificate of Plat and the Deed of Conveyance to the purchaser
of TMP 29 -8J state that the proposed BLA will exercise the one permitted division right of
Easement ALB -VOF -3586 (DB 4266 PG 414).
2. TMP 29 -9 will now be encumbered by two different sets of easement restrictions; the
portion north of the stream referred to as Wards Creek or Rocky Creek will be subject to
Easement ALB -VOF -3586 (DB 4266 PG 414), and the portion south of the stream referred
to as Wards Creek or Rocky Creek will remain as subject to Easement ALB -VOF -1633
(DB 3003 PG 283).
3. VOF requests a copy of the executed and recorded BLA plat and certification after
recordation.
