Deed Book 315, page 139, dated February 17, 1955, conveyed land aggregating
170.40 acres from John P. Spaulding & Elsie N. Spaulding to S.D. Forbes, Inc. The real
estate is described below. The three tracts are now shown on Tax Map 9 as a single
tract identified as Parcel 12.
TRACT NO. 1: A tract containing 130.60 acres, more or less, being adjacent to
and southwest of the other two parcels conveyed herein. [1]
TRACT NO. 2: A tract containing 37 acres, more or less, being adjacent to and
northeast of the other two parcels conveyed herein. [2]

The above two tracts are the same property conveyed to the Grantor by
the deed recorded in Deed Book 265, page 397.
TRACT NO. 3: A tract containing 2.80 acres, more or less, being a wedged
shaped parcel situated between the other two tracts herein conveyed. [3]
Deed Book 335, page 20, dated September 18, 1957, conveyed 167.5 acres from
Forbes Garden Supply, Inc. (formerly S. D. Forbes, Inc.) to West Virginia Pulp and
Paper Company. The property is described as consisting of three contiguous tracts
aggregating 167.5 acres, more or less, as shown on a plat by T. W. Saunders, S.N.C.
dated September, 1957 and attached to this deed and being in all respects the same
property conveyed by the deed recorded in Deed Book 315, page 139. The deed states
that it is the intention of the grantor to convey the entire property acquired by the deed
which recites the acreage as 170.40 acres, which amount has since been determined to
be slightly in error as is indicated by the Saunders plat. [1] [2] [3]
The plat shows the perimeter only of the property and numbers the tracts 1, 2 and 3.
The internal lines showing the bounds of the three separate parcels are not shown on
the plat. Based on the deed description of this property as three contiguous tracts
and the reference to the description of the property in Deed Book 315, page 139, it
is determined that Parcel 12 is comprised of three separate parcels as described
herein and shown as [1 ] [2] [3] on the map key.
Tax Map 9, Parcel 29 shown on the key as [41
Deed Book 208, page 209, dated April 8, 1930, conveyed 31 acres from Mrs. Pearl
Shifflett to J. M. Knight. The parcel is described as a portion of the land acquired by
Mrs. Pearle Shifflett by deed dated March 24, 1930 and recorded in the current deed
book just prior to this deed. That parcel contained 113 acres. As a result of this
transaction, the residue contained 82 acres. The 82 -acre parcel is shown on Tax Map 9
as Parcel 29 and is labeled as [4] on the key. The 31- acre parcel is shown on Tax Map
9 as Parcels 30, 30A and 30B. Parcel 30 is labeled as [5] on the key.
Deed Book 418, page 538, dated June 15, 1966, conveyed 81.75 acres from James J.
Shifflett & Upsie Shifflett to E. Morris Chisholm. The property is described as being all of
a tract of 112.75 acres described in a deed recorded in Deed Book 193, page 170,
excepting a tract of 31 acres conveyed off and described in a deed recorded in Deed
Book 208, page 209. On the basis of this deed, Tax Map 9, Parcel 29 is determined
to be a parcel of record. Copies of the deeds that establish the chain of title back to
Deed Book 193, page 170 are in the file.

208, page 209.
Deed Book 246, page 295, dated May 7, 1940, conveyed 31 acres from William L.
Knight & Ethel F. Knight to James F. Knight & Maggie Knight. The property is described
as lying on the West side of Simmons Gap Road adjacent to the lands of Robert Ham,
Jake Ham and others. A more complete description is in Deed Book 244, page 242. On
the basis of this deed, what are now shown on Tax Map 9, Parcels 30, 30A and
30B are determined to have been a single parcel of record on the date of the
adoption of the ordinance. [5]
Tax Map 9, Parcel 31, shown on the key as [61
Deed Book 86, page 404, June 10, 1886, conveyed 113 acres from Leah Cox to M. O.
Cox. The property is described as being on the public road from Earlysville to
Nortonsville containing 88'/4 acres. Also, one other lot or parcel of timberland containing
24 3/4 acres, adjoining Geo. Wm. Cox, Dr. J. S. Richards and others. The 88'/4 parcel is
comprised of [6] & [9] on the map key. The 24 3/4 acre parcel is [13] on the map key.
Deed Book 266, page 273, dated January 4, 1946, conveyed a joint life estate from
Clarance Cox to Vessie Smith Cox in two parcels described as follows:
Parcel No. One: All of two certain lots or parcels of land adjoining M. O. Cox,
Wilhoit and others, being a portion of the 420 acres owned by Leah Cox and
surveyed by J. T. E. Simms in October 1884, and containing in the aggregate 97
acres, more or less. [7] & [8]
Parcel No. Two: A certain lot or parcel of land adjoining the lands of Mrs. O. H.
Via, Ira G. Woods and others. The parcel conveyed is supposed to contain 75
acres, be the same more or less, it being a portion of 88'/4 acres on the south
side of Nortonsville Road [9] and the balance of 88'/4 on north side [6].
Deed Book 277, page 355, dated January 7, 1948, conveyed certain lots or parcels
from Clarence Cox & Vessie Smith Cox to O. N. Davis. The property is more particularly
described in part as:
C:\ inetpub \wwwroot \cityviewlazerfiche_ integration \tem pdocholder \15487.doc

Page 5
Parcel No. One: All of two certain lots or parcels of land adjoining M. O. Cox,
Wilhoit and others, being a portion of the 420 acres owned by Leah Cox and
surveyed by J. T. E. Simms in October 1884, and containing in the aggregate 97
acres, more or less. [7] & [8]
Parcel No. Two: A certain lot or parcel of land adjoining the lands of Mrs. O. H.
Via, Ira G. Woods and others... The parcel of land above conveyed is supposed
to contain 75 acres, be the same more or less, it being a portion of 88'/4 acres on
the south side of Nortonsville Road and the balance of 88'/4 on north side, being
the same land as was conveyed by the deed recorded in Deed Book 266, page
273. [9]
One would assume that the residue of this transaction contained approximately 13.5
acres. This parcel is shown on Tax Map 9 as Parcel 31 and is labeled [6] on the key.
On the basis of this deed, the residue of the 88'/4 acre parcel, identified as Parcel
31 on Tax Map 9 is determined to be a parcel of record. Based on the descriptions
of the property contained in the deeds, one would assume the property contains
13'/2 acres. However, County records indicate the property contains 5'/2 acres.
This discrepancy has not been resolved. This parcel is labeled [6] on the key.
Deed Book 408, page 287, dated April 8, 1965, conveyed a perpetual construction and
maintenance easement from the Estate of M. O. Cox to the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Book 351, page 404 did not combine the parcels because the deed identifies the
multiple tracts: "The above described real estate, consisting of four tracts of land..." The
plat is an exterior boundary survey. This conveyance had no effect on the development
rights or status as separate parcels of record of the subject properties of this
determination.
Deed Book 1720, page 377, dated June 18, 1998, conveyed the same property
described in Deed Book 1395, page 726 from Mary Jane Chisholm to Mary Jane
Chisholm, Trustee under the Mary Jane Chisholm Declaration of Trust dated May 16,
1994. This conveyance had no effect on the development rights or status as separate
parcels of record of the subject properties of this determination.
Based on this history, Tax Map 9, Parcel 12 is determined to be three separate parcels
of record. Tax Map 9, Parcel 29 is determined to be one parcel of record. Tax Map 9,
Parcel 30 is determined to be one parcel of record. Tax Map 9, Parcel 31 is determined
to be one parcel of record. Tax Map 9, Parcel 32 is determined to be five parcels of
record. Tax Map 9, Parcel 12 is determined to be one parcel of record. Each of these
parcels are determined to have the development rights that are specified on the chart.
These parcels can utilize these development rights if all other applicable regulations can
be met. These development rights are theoretical in nature but do represent the
maximum number of lots containing less than twenty -one acres that are allowed to be
created by right. In addition to the development right lots, as many parcels containing a
minimum of twenty -one acres may be created as the property can support, if all other
applicable regulations can be met.

of the date notice of this determination is given, in accordance with Section 15.2 -2311 of

and unappealable. An appeal shall be taken only by filing with the Zoning Administrator
and the Board of Zoning Appeals a notice of appeal that specifies the grounds for the
appeal. An appeal application must be completed and filed along with the fee of $120.

you have any questions, please contact me.
Sincerely,

Manager of Zoning Administration
