The following report of Viewers was presented and accepted in accordance with Section 2039 of the Virginia Code~ We, the undersigned, being Viewers appointed by your Board at its regular meeting on February 16, 1949, to view the following described section of road and make report to your Board, hereby wish to advise that on Narch 7, 1949, we viewed this section of road and make the following reportt Beginning at Route 250, approximately 0.5 Mi, West of West Corporate Limits of the City of Charlottesville, and following the streets marked in red on the attached plat of the Bellair Estates Sub-division. Ne find that t~his is a sub-division Lu the process of being developed and do not feel that there are sufficient number of homes to be served ~to justify requesting same to be put in the State Secondary Road System, therefore, we cannot recommend the greeting of this petition.

Durr~tte The following report of Viewers was presented and accepted in accordance with Section 2039 of the Virginia Code: We, the undersigned, being Viewers appointed by your Board at its regular meeting on February 16, 1949, to view the following described section of road and make report to your Board, hereby wish to advise that on Narch 7, 1949, we viewed this section of road and make the following report: Beginning at Route 250, approximately 2.0~les East of Shadwell and at top of hea~/ grade, thence Southeast over old public entrance for 2000 feet. We find that the section of this location from Route 250 to top of grade, approximately 500 feet in length, to be impassable and, in our judgment, not practical to grade, or have an entrance bo Route 250, be- ing at this point ena vertical curve at the top of heavy grade and be- ing cut where sight distance would be very short. It is suggested by the interested citi~mens that a new location fo~ this entrance some 300 feet to the East of the present old entrance would be more practical. We firJ that the 30 ft. unobstructed right ~of way over this section of old road has not been given and the citizens question whether it could be secured. We believe that there is a need fro a road at approximately ~his location to serve the seven families as represented ir. the petition (it appears to us that these families must only own cut over timber land as we could not see any homes or road~ leading to homes from the present road) and would recommend to your Board that when the interested citizens would construct a practical entrance to Route 250 and put s~me in maintainabm!~e condition that your Board recommend sam~ to be placed in the Secondary Road System.

We find that this pro- posed location would, in our opinion, not be justified as construction of same would be expensive and the fencing of sam8 would be more than the landowners would be willing to undertake.
