Dear Mr. Rasmussen:
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 113, Parcel 6 is a parcel of record and has four (4) theoretical development

The parcels are entitled to the noted development rights if all other applicable
regulations can be met. These development rights may only be utilized within the
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 accordance with 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
2
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.
