PRESENTER (S): N/A
LEGAL REVIEW: Yes
REVIEWED BY: Jeffrey B. Richardson
BACKGROUND: Our Lady of Peace (Applicant) is in the process of an expansion project and has submitted associated site plans (SDP202400072) and an easement plat (SUB-2026-00112) for County review. During the site plan review, the Applicant’s legal team discovered a portion of an existing platted private access easement that serves Parcels 61Z-03-8 and 61Z-03-1A inadvertently falls across County-owned Parcel 61Z-03-9. The private access easement was drawn on a plat by Kurt M. Gloeckner dated January 6, 1998. The 1998 plat does not accurately illustrate the boundary line between Parcel 61Z-03-1A and County-owned Parcel 61Z-03-9. Since the plat only showed a private access easement, no County review was required prior to plat recordation, and no County authorization to convey the easement was sought at that time.
STRATEGIC PLAN: Infrastructure & Placemaking - Invest in infrastructure and amenities that create connection, opportunity, and well-being.
DISCUSSION: The Applicant requests the Board of Supervisors schedule a public hearing to consider the conveyance of a 512 square-foot access easement on County-owned Parcel 61Z-03-9. No adjustments to the easement are proposed. (Attachments A and B). County staff have reviewed the easement location and have no objections to the proposal. The easement does not interfere with County use of the parcel for the proposed Hillsdale Pocket Park or impede maintenance of the stormwater basin located on the parcel. A public hearing for the Board to consider conveying the easement is required per Virginia Code § 15.2-1800.
BUDGET IMPACT: There would be no budget impact for the proposed easements. The Applicant will be compensating the County for the fair market value of the 512 square-foot private access easement, which will be finalized prior to the public hearing.
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation
