BODY
SUBJECT/PROPOSAL/REQUEST: Public Hearing to Consider Conveyance of a Private Access Easement on County-Owned Parcel Tax Map Parcel 061Z0-03-00-00900 (61Z-03-9)
ITEM TYPE: Regular Action Item
STAFF CONTACT(S): Richardson, Wall, Herrick, Tevendale, Svoboda, Barnes, McDermott, Ragsdale, Tate
PRESENTER (S): Jered Tate
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 (Applicant property) and 61Z-03-1A (Catholic Diocese property) 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 and the Catholic Diocese requests the Board of Supervisors convey 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 Parcel 61Z-03-9 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, calculated to be $114.68.
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Board adopt the Resolution (Attachment C) to authorize the conveyance of a 512 square-foot private access easement on a portion of Parcel 61Z-03-9.
