BODY
SUBJECT/PROPOSAL/REQUEST: Authorize County Executive’s signature on plat correcting number of development rights on Parcel 75-2
ITEM TYPE: Consent Action Item
STAFF CONTACT(S): Foley, Kamptner, Herrick, MacCall
PRESENTER (S): N/A
LEGAL REVIEW: Yes
REVIEWED BY: Thomas C. Foley
BACKGROUND: In 2006, the owner of Parcel ID 07500-00-00-00200 (Parcel 75-2) subdivided Parcel ID 07500-00-00-002D0 (Parcel 75-2D) from the original Parcel 75-2. The 2006 subdivision plat indicated that each of the resulting two tracts retained one development right. In 2007, an official determination of parcels and development rights was issued by the Zoning Division stating that the 2006 subdivision did not assign three development rights that were eligible to be assigned to Parcels 75-2 and 75-2D. In 2015, The Nature Conservancy donated Parcel 75-2D (and five others) to the County among the six-parcel Hedgerow tract. Hedgerow Holdings II, LLC, the current owner of Parcel 75-2, has recently approached the County, claiming that Parcel 75-2 was and is in fact entitled to the three remaining development rights for a total of four development rights assigned to Parcel 75-2.
STRATEGIC PLAN: Goal 3. Development Areas. Attract quality employment, commercial, and high density residential uses into development areas by providing services and infrastructure that encourage redevelopment and private investment while protecting the quality of neighborhoods.
DISCUSSION: County staff has reviewed and agrees with Hedgerow Holdings’ request. At staff’s suggestion, Hedgerow Holdings has prepared a proposed corrected plat for recordation (Attachment A). The proposed plat correctly notes, “Tax Map 75 Parcel 2 retains 4 development rights.” Because the County now owns Parcel 75-2D, the other subject parcel on the subdivision plats, the County’s signature is needed on the corrected plat before it can be recorded.
BUDGET IMPACT: The County’s signature on the proposed corrected subdivision plat would have no budget impact to the County
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Board authorize the County Executive to sign a corrected subdivision plat and certificate of plat (Attachments A and B) for Parcel 75-2 on behalf of the County, as owner of Parcel 75-2D, once both are approved as to form and content by the County Attorney.
