Tax Map 28, Parcel 23D has five (5) development rights.
Tax Map 28, Parcel 23H has five (5) development rights.
The basis for this determination follows.
Tax Map 16, Parcel 7
Our records indicate Tax Map 16, Parcel 7 contains 187.45 acres and no dwellings. The
property is not in an Agricultural Forestal District. The most recent recorded instrument
for this property is recorded in Deed Book 1976, page 667.
This analysis begins with Deed Book 393, page 564, dated November 29, 1963. This
deed conveyed to James F. Lewis, Jr. five tracts described as containing 254 acres of
record in D.B.123, p. 103; 117 acres of record in W.B. 32, p. 493; 35 acres of record in
D.B. 127, p. 323; 40 acres of record in D.B. 238, p. 70 & D.B. 127, p. 325 and 0.5 acres
of record in D.B. 212, p. 231, for a total of 446.5 acres. This deed established these
five tracts as separate parcels of record. The northeast portion of Parcel 7
contains the eastern portion of the 254.5 acre tract.
Deed Book 419, page 153, dated November 29, 1963, contains a Declaration of
Ownership of the lands of James F. Lewis, Jr. Among these holdings is Tract #4
described as containing 446.5 acres. It is shown as Parcel S shown on a plat by Blue
and Finley, Engineers and Surveyors dated June 28, 1966 and recorded with the deed
of record in Deed Book 393, page 564. It is determined that this deed and composite
plat did not extinguish the separate identities of the parcels described in Deed
Book 393, page 564. For the purpose of this determination this deed established
the 446.5 -acre tract as a parcel of record. with five (5) development rights.
The most recent deed for the northeastern portion of this parcel recorded prior to the
adoption of the Zoning Ordinance, December 10, 1980 is recorded in Deed Book 644,
page 583 and is dated April 14, 1978. This deed conveyed 24.658 acres from James F.
Lewis, Jr. and Rosemary R. Lewis to Malvern R. Whitaker and Evelyn M. Whitaker. The
parcel is shown on a plat by R. O. Snow, dated March 20, 1978. The land is further
described as being a portion of Tract "one" acquired by James F. Lewis, Jr. by the deed
of record in Deed Book 393, page 564. (This deed actually identifies the 446.5 -acre
tract as Tract No. 4) This property is now designated as Parcel 6B and 6131 on Tax Map
16. Based on this deed, the residue of the 446.5 -acre tract, containing an
estimated 421.8 acres, is determined to be a parcel of record with five (5)
development rights.
The most recent deed for the southwestern portion of this parcel recorded prior to the
adoption of the Zoning Ordinance, December 10, 1980 is recorded in Deed Book 462,
page 612 and is dated August 19, 1969. This deed conveyed 208.43 acres from the

Brian S. Ray

Page 3
Heirs of William F. Via to James F. Lewis, Jr. The land was described as being all of the
two tracts; 127.4 acres acquired by the deed of record in Deed Book 79, page 463 and
88 acres of record in Deed Book 156, page 308. The property is shown on a plat by
Thomas D. Blue dated July 31, 1969 that is attached to the deed. Based on this deed,
this 208.43 -acre parcel is determined to be two parcels of record; one containing
127.4 acres and the other containing 88 acres. Each of these parcels has five (5)
theoretical development rights. The eastern portion of the 127.4 -acre tract is now
a part of Parcel 7. The 88 -acre tract is not a subject of this determination.
Deed Book 738, page 185, dated April 28, 1982 conveyed two tracts from Trustees to
James F. Lewis, Jr. Tract 1 is identified as being Tax Map 16, Parcel 6 containing
421.222 acres, a portion of the 446.5 -acre parcel designated as Parcel S on the plat of
record in Deed Book 419, page 161. Tract 2 is identified as Tax Map 16, Parcel 7
containing 208.430 acres shown on the plat of record in Deed Book 462, page 616.
This transaction had no effect on the legal status or development rights of Tax
Map 16, Parcel 7 or Parcel 6.
Deed Book 754, page 374, dated December 23, 1982 conveyed certain tracts of land
that contain 642.45 acres in the aggregate from Page J. McGee to Jerry P. Kerr, James
F. Lewis, III, Jr. and Frank M. Appleby, Trustee to Page J. McGee. Tract 1 is described
as being identified Tax Map 16, Parcel 6 containing 434.02 acres in the aggregate,
shown as a tract containing 430.31 acres and Parcel X containing 3.71 acres on the plat
by R.O. Snow and R.W. Ray dated December 22, 1982. Tract 2 is identified as Tax Map
16, Parcel 7 containing 208.43 acres shown on the plat by Thomas D. Blue recorded in
Deed Book 462, page 616. The discrepancy in acreage is explained by the fact that the
Blue & Finley plat was a composite survey with no field work while the Snow & Ray plat
shows metes and bounds obtained in the field. This transaction had no effect on the
legal status or development rights of Tax Map 16, Parcel 7 or Parcel 6.
Deed Book 759, page 588, dated January 26, 1983 conveyed 222.89 acres from Page
J. McGee and William L. McGee, Jr. to Joseph M. Casero and Karina G. Casero. The
property is designated as Tract A on a plat by R.O. Snow and R.W. Ray dated January
10, 1983. Tract A is composed of 73.71 acres, a portion of the 208.43 acre parcel and a
149.18 -acre portion of the residue of the 254.5 -acre parcel, both described above. The
plat assigned two development rights to each of these parcels. As a result of this
transaction Tract A, containing 222.89 acres contained four development rights.
Two development rights are within the 73.71 -acre portion of Old Parcel 7 and two
development rights are within the eastern portion of Old Parcel 6. Note that three
development rights remained within the residue of the 127.4 -acre parcel described in
Deed Book 462, page 612, a portion of Parcel 6. Three additional development rights
remained within the residue of the 254.5 acre described in Deed Book 393, page 564.
Parcel 6 is not a subject of this determination.
