Re: Official Determination of Number of Parcels and Development Rights (Property of The Miller
School of Albemarle -Tax Map 85, Parcel 49)
Dear Mr. Dise:
What follows is the parcel determination for the other Miller School property. The parcel determination for
the main campus is written by separate letter, dated June 29th. The County Attorney and I have reviewed
the title information and plat that you have submitted for the above -noted property. This is the plat titled
"Composite Survey of The Miller School of Albemarle containing 503.30 acres +/-" dated February 15,
1999. Without further information about the location of the end of State maintenance for Rt. 694 and/or
some other factors, it is not appropriate at this time to determine whether Tract 1 is one or two parcels. In
brief, it is our finding that this property consists of seven (7) or eight (8) separate parcels. These parcels
are as follows:
TAX MAP 85, PARCEL 49 containing 503.30 acres
Tract 1 (3.5 acres) This tract is subdivided by Miller Lake Road (Rt. 694) which becomes a private road at
some undetermined point. Once further information is obtained, we can determine if this tract is split into
two (2) lots. If Tract 1 is split, it would be as follows:
Lot 1A (2.78 acres) on the east side of Miller Lake Rd. — 1 development right, no additional
rights.
Lot 1 B (0.72 acres) on the west side — No additional development rights. This parcel may not
be buildable.
Tract 2 (275 acres) This tract is subdivided by Miller Lake Road (Rt. 694). Whiteside Branch runs through
it and it contains a pond. The road divides it into two (2) lots.

minimum 21 acres.

minimum 21 acres.
Tract 3 (0.25 acres) This tract is on the west side of Rt. 694.
Lot 3 (0.25 acres) — No additional development rights. This lot may not be buildable.
Tract 4 (39.5 acres) This tract is on the west side of Rt. 694 towards the end. It includes several
structures, based on the composite survey.
Lot 4 (39.5 acres) — 5 development rights and 1 parcel of minimum 21 acres.
Tract 5 (124 acres) This tract does not appear to have state road frontage and is located in the
southwestern portion of this entire property.
Lot 5 (124 acres) — 5 development rights and 5 parcels of minimum 21 acres.
Tract 6 (39.8 acres) This tract does not appear to have state road frontage and is located in the southern
portion of this entire property.
Lot 6 (39.8 acres) — 5 development rights and 1 parcel of minimum 21 acres.
Tract 7 (21.25 acres) This tract does not appear to have state road frontage and is located in the northern
portion of this entire property.
Lot 7 (21.25 acres) — 5 development rights.
In summary, this is the total number of separate parcels:
1 or 2 (Tract 1)
2 (Tract 2)
1 (Tract 3)
1 (Tract 4)
1 (Tract 5)
1 (Tract 6)

Please note that the words "parcel" and "lot" are used interchangeably and are intended to carry the same
meaning for the purpose of this determination. If your client intends to sell off any property separately,
*This acreage is estimated. The actual number of development rights is dependent on surveyed acreage and actual building
sites which comply with the zoning regulations. The number of hypothetical rights is calculated at the rate of 1 development right
per 2 acres or existing lot, with five being the maximum number of development rights allowed.

Determination of Parcel (TM 85, P49)
we strongly urge them to discuss with staff how it could be done in keeping with the goals and
principles of the Rural Areas and the Comprehensive Plan. We are happy to meet with you and/or
your clients at any time. Property of this size, with this many individual parcels and in a sensitive
location such as this, requires significant thoughtful planning prior to any off -conveyances and
development.

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. In order for an appeal to be considered complete, it shall include a
