Our records indicate Tax Map 9, Parcel 33 contains 24.75 acres and no dwellings. The property is not in an Agricultural Forestal District. The most recent deed for this property is recorded in Deed Book 1720, page 377. The basis for this determination is summarized as follows, beginning with parcel 12. Tax Map 9, Parcel 12 shown on the key as [11, [21 & [31 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] C:\ inetpub \wwwroot \cityviewlazerfiche_ integration \tempdocholder \15487.doc Chisholm Trust April 1, 2003 Page 3 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.

M. Knight to William L. Knight & Ethel F. 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. It is further identified as being the same tract that was conveyed in Deed Book 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.

[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.
