RE: OFFICIAL DETERMINATION OF PARCELS AND DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS --
Tax Map117, Parcel 5D (Property of the Betty F. Strider Trust) Samuel Miller
Magisterial District
Dear Mr. Strider:
The .County Attorney and I have reviewed the title information for the above -noted
property. It is the County Attorney's advisory opinion and my official determination that
Tax Map 117, Parcel 5D is a parcel of record and has five (5) theoretical development
rights. The basis for this.determination follows.
Our records indicate Tax Map 117, Parcel 5D contains 104.77 acres and no dwellings.
The property is not within an Agricultural and Forestal District. The most recent
recorded instrument for this property is recorded in Deed Book 1574, page 693 as a
Deed of Gift.
This analysis begins with the deed of record in Deed Book 504, page 269 that is dated
March 9, 1972. The deed conveyed 104.77 acres as described on the February 25,
1972 plat of R. O.. Snow, attached to that deed. This is also the most recent instrument
for this parcel recorded prior to the adoption of the Zoning Ordinance, December 10,
1980. Based on this deed, Tax Map 117, Parcel 5D is determined to be a.parcel of
record with five (5) development rights.
Deed Book 1574, page 693, dated November 1, 1996, conveyed the same 104.77
acres from David V..Strider to Betty F, Strider, Trustee for the Betty F. Strider Trust. The
property is described as being the same as was conveyed by Deed Book 504, page
269. This transaction had no effect on the parcel.
The parcels are entitled to the noted development rights if all other applicable
bounds of the original parcel with which they are associated. These development rights
are theoretical in nature but do represent the maximum number of lots containing less
than twenty one acres allowed to be created by right. In addition to the development

right lots, the parcel may create as many smaller parcels containing a minimum of
twenty-one acres as it has land to make.
If you are aggrieved by this determination, you have a right to appeal it within thirty days
of the date notice of this determination is given, in accordancewith Section 15.2-2311 of
the Code of Virginia. If you do not file a timely appeal, this determination shall be final
and unappealable. An appeal shall be taken only by filing with the Zoning Administrator
and the Board of Zoning Appeals a. notice of appeal which specifies the grounds for the
appeal. An appeal application must be completed and filed along with the fee of $120.
The date notice of this determination was given is the same as the date of this letter.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
