Walker Richmond III 214 East High Street Charlottesville, VA 22902 RE: OFFICIAL DETERMINATION OF PARCELS AND DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS -- Tax Map 111, Parcel 41 (Property of Tye River Limited Partnership & Mary D. Tilghman, Trustee of Mary D. Tilghman Revocable Trust) Samuel Miller Magisterial District Dear Mr. Richmond: 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 111, Parcel 41 is comprised of two separate parcels. One is designated as Parcel 40 on the 1979 tax map. Parcel 40 contains approximately 143.7 acres and five (5) theoretical development rights. The other is the portion of Parcel 41 as designated on the 1979 tax map that is located to the West of Route 717, Secretary's Sand Road. Parcel 41 contains approximately 443.24 acres and four (4) theoretical development rights. When used, these four development rights shall not aggregate more than 24.80 acres. The basis for this determination follows. Our records indicate Tax Map 111 Parcel 41 contains 583.52 acres and five dwellings. The property is not within an Agricultural and Forestal District. The most recent recorded instrument for this property is recorded in Deed Book 2408, page 275. The most recent deed for T.M. 111-40 is recorded in Deed Book 352, page 454. This deed, dated September 17, 1959, conveyed 143.7 acres from William N. Hanckle to Continental Can Company, Inc. The property is described on a plat by T.W. Saunders, C.L.S., dated August 1959. On the basis of this deed, the 143.7 -acre tract, designated as T.M. 111-40 on the 1979 tax map is determined to be a separate parcel of record containing five development rights. The analysis for T.M. 111-41 begins with the deed of record in Deed Book 372, page 172. This deed, dated September 23, 1961, conveyed 515.61 acres from Beverly English Hartsook to Robert G. Allen and Katherine W. Allen. The property is described as being the same as was conveyed to the Grantor as 515.33 acres by the deed recorded in Deed Book 318, page 193 but upon resurvey by William S. Roudabush was I:\DEPT\Community Development\Zoning & Current Development Division\Determinations of Parcel\2008\111-21 LOD2008-22, Quiet Entry .doc J. Walker Richmond III May 21, 2009 Page 2 found to contain 515.61 acres. On the basis of this deed, T.M. 111-41 is determined to be a separate parcel of record. The most recent instrument for the rest of this parcel recorded prior to the adoption of the Zoning Ordinance, December 10, 1980, is recorded in Deed Book 474, page 287. This deed, dated July 8, 1970, conveyed 515.61 acres from Edward J. Jendry and R. Dorothy Jendry to Jeff Miller Smith and Sarah Louise Smith. The property is described by reference to the resurvey by William S. Roudabush of record in Deed Book 372, page 174. On the basis of this deed, the 515.61 -acre tract, designated as T.M. 111- 41 on the 1979 tax map is determined to be a separate parcel of record containing five (5) theoretical development rights. Deed Book 734, page 258, dated January 1, 1982, conveyed multiple parcels from The Continental Group, Inc. (formerly Continental Can Company and Successor by Merger to Spain Lumber Company) to Continental Hopewell Woodlands. Among the parcels is #30, identified as No. 34-85, standing in the name of W. N.
