This deed conveyed two contiguous tracts of land from Paul J. Bloch and Antonie Bloch to Lewis Mahanes and Lydia H. Mahanes. One of the tracts was described as containing 108.66 acres lying on both sides of State Highway 231. The portion lying on the southeast side of said road contained by estimation some fifteen acres, more or less. The deed further noted that it was distinctly understood that said acreage is in no sense guaranteed and that this conveyance is in gross and not by the acre. On the basis of this deed, the 108.66 -acre tract is determined to be a parcel of record. Deed Book 1247, page 589, dated August 14, 1992, conveyed 9.3221 acres from Lydia H. Mahanes to Alexander L. Rives and Susan B. Rives. The deed included a subdivision plat by Gary M. Whelan, dated July 7, 1992, that showed Parcel A containing 3.811 acres and Parcel B containing 9.3221 acres. This is the entire portion of the above-mentioned 108.66 -acre parcel located on the southeast side of State Highway 231. At the time the land was divided, this 15 -acre +/- portion of the 108.6 -acre parcel was considered to be a separate parcel of record under the Sanford Case. The plat noted that Parcel "A" has one (1) development right and four (4) development rights remain with Parcel "B."
