RE: OFFICIAL DETERMINATION OF DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS AND PARCELS- Tax
Map 126, Parcel 31 L (Property of Mitchell O. Carr) Section 10.3.1
Dear Ms. Lloyd:
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 126, Parcel 31 L is comprised of two separate parcels; one containing 17.5
acres and the other containing 19 acres and 1.2 acres. These are shown on a
worksheet by Saunders Surveys attached to this determination. Both of these parcels
contain five (5) theoretical development rights. The basis for this determination is
summarized as follows:
Our records indicate Tax Map 126, Parcel 31 L contains 38.0 acres and no dwellings.
The property is not in an Agricultural Forestal District.
On June 17, 1999 the Deputy Zoning Administrator determined that the portion of what
was then Parcel 3, located between the track bed of the Nelson and Albemarle Railway
Company and State Route 800, containing approximately 38 acres, excepting Parcels
33F, 34B and 34 C, was one parcel with five theoretical development rights. This was
identified as Parcel 3 in that determination.
You have submitted new survey and deed information for our consideration of the
number of development rights and parcels for Parcel 31 L. The tax map depicts Parcel
31 L as a contiguous parcel. However, the worksheet by Saunders Surveys shows that
Parcels 34C and 33F actually share a common boundary. Consequently, these parcels
physically separate the 17.5 acre portion of Parcel 31 L from the 19.5 acre portion of
Parcel 31 L into two tracts; one containing 17.5 acres and the other, a 19 acre tract and
a 1.2 acre tract that was separated as the result of the realignment of State Route 800.

This worksheet is consistent with a subdivision plat recorded in Deed Book 183, page
480. This deed, dated July 5, 1923 conveyed 22.1 acres from J. S. Harris to Virginia

Alberene Corporation. The property is described as being part of a larger tract and is
shown on a plat by M. M. VanDoran, Deputy Surveyor of Albemarle County. This 22.1
acres contains the 19 acre tract, the 1.2 acre tract and the portion of State Route 800
shown on Saunders Surveys worksheet.
The determination dated June 17, 1999 established that Parcel 31 L was a lot of record
based on the deed recorded in Deed Book 602, page 225. That was the most recent
deed for this property recorded prior to the adoption of the ordinance. That deed, dated
August 9, 1976 conveyed 1599 acres from The Georgia Marble Company to Mitchell
Carr and S. Vance Wilkins, LESS AND EXCEPT several parcels, including what was
identified as Parcel 17. Parcel 17 is an off -conveyance that was a portion of land
conveyed by deed recorded in Deed Book 162, page 175, described as all land lying
between old Route 6 on the southwest to the new Route 6 to the northeast and Route
800 on the southeast, and LESS AND EXCEPT 11.790 acres conveyed to Thomas
Beasley by deed recorded contemporaneously with this deed. This 11.790 acres is
shown on a plat recorded in Deed Book 485, page 408 and was subsequently divided
into Parcels 34, 34A, 34B and 34C. It is now understood that Parcel 17 in this deed
covers only the 17.5 acres shown on the Saunders Surveys Worksheet. Parcel 16 in
this deed covers the 19 acre tract and the 1.2 acres tract acquired by Virginia Alberene
Corporation by a separate deed recorded in Deed Book 183, page 480. Therefore, on
the basis of this deed, Parcel 16 and Parcel 17 are determined to be two separate lots
of record as provided in Section 10.3 of the zoning ordinance.
There have been no off -conveyances since the recordation of this deed. Both of these
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 parcels 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.
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
appeal. An appeal application must be completed and filed along with the fee of $95.
The date notice of this determination was given is the same as the date of this letter.
