Re: Sherwood Farms - Tax Map 76N, Parcels 8 and 8A:
Properties of Hurt, Stoneburner and Reynolds /Pratt
OFFICIAL DETERMINATION TO REVERSE THAT OF JUNE 16, 1989
Dear Gentlemen,
Please forgive my delay in this written record of that which I
have discussed verbally with each of you. This is an official
determination to reverse my prior determination as to the "legal
parcel of record ", as stated in my letter of June 16, 1989 to
Charles W. Hurt and Shirley L. Fisher, Trustees of Virginia Land
Trust. It is my determination that each of these three (3) pieces
of property constitute a separate legal parcel of record.
This reversal is based on actions by County Officials to a)
recognize these as separate parcels for taxing and mapping
purposes, and to b) issue a building permit for a substantial
improvement on the Stoneburner property. It is my opinion and
that of the County Attorney that the County is estopped to assert
the "violation" due to the actions of its officials in this case.

Farms Letter
19, 1989
In regards to development rights: the three parcels possess in
total three development rights. This is as stated on the plat by
William Morris Foster entitled "Plat Showing Tracts One through
Five In Sherwood Farms" dated revised March 17, 1986.
I concur with Mr. Barnes as stated in his letter of November 27,
1989: the 1.5 acre parcel possesses one (1) theoretical
development right. It may however be unbuildable, and therefore
the additional development right could be re- allocated. Once
further information is available regarding this parcel's slopes
and suitability for septic systems, it can be better addressed.
The plat which was recorded for the sale of the parcel to the
Reynolds /Pratt owners requires a recorded correction. The
"Boundary Survey Showing A Portion of Parcel 01 -8 . . ." dated May
3, 1988 by B. Aubrey Huffman & Associates, Ltd. shows subdivision
of this parcel into the 11.2671 acre main tract and a 0.8665 acre
bridle path. Mr. Payne, I am certain is aware of the many options
available for resolution of this minor item.
In closing, let me apologize for the inconvenience and
difficulties caused by my previous determination. I appreciate
the input by each of you to resolve the situation.
If you should have any further questions, please do not hesitate
to contact me.
Sincerely,
n), PA"',
