It is the County Attorney's advisory opinion and my official determination that Tax Map 65, Parcel 11A1 contains one development right within the original 3 -acre portion. Tax Map 65, Parcel 12B is two separate parcels. (1) The original Parcel 3, containing 5.89 acres prior to the off -conveyance of a strip of land for right of way plus the 6.464 -acre portion from Parcel 12A is one parcel. The 6.464 -acre portion contains three development rights and the original 5.89 -acre portion contains two development rights. (2) The original Lot 4 containing 6.16 acres prior to the off -conveyance of a strip of land for right of way is a separate parcel that contains either two or three development rights, depending on its acreage. The approximate location of these parcels is shown on the attached sketch. The basis for this determination is summarized as follows: Tax Map 65, Parcel 11A1 Our records indicate Tax Map 65, Parcel 11A1 contains 5.000 acres and no dwellings.

The parcel is shown on a plat dated August 28, 1984 by William S. Roudabush, Inc. The plat notes that the residue of T.M. 65 - 11A retains 5 development rights.
