In 2005, the County approved the creation of a 2.13755-acre
lot as a family transfer. This lot is located off a private
easement that connects to Nugget Court in the Lee
Magisterial District (PIN # 7806-70-9415-000). The attached
vicinity map shows the location of this parcel. The lot was
conveyed to Jon L. Arnold and Jessica Arnold by Audrey
Arnold, and the conveyance included the affidavit requiring
that the grantee not transfer the property to a
non-immediate family member for ten (10) years.
Jon and Jessica Arnold are now requesting that the Board of
Supervisors reduce the 10-year time requirement of Section
2-39.3.A.3 of the Subdivision Ordinance, so that they will
not have to hold the property for ten (10) years before
voluntarily transferring the property. Section 2-39.3A.15 of
the Subdivision Ordinance states that, if the Board of
Supervisors finds that an extraordinary hardship is caused
by the ten (10) year restriction, it may reduce the time
period to alleviate the hardship. If approved, Mr. and Mrs.
Arnold would have held the property for three (3) years.
The Applicants have encountered financial hardship due to
decrease in demand for Mr. Arnold’s business. The Arnold’s
can no longer sustain the financial impacts and needs to
sell the property in order to alleviate that hardship. The
Arnold’s letter (provided under separate cover) requests the
reduction, along with the specific justification. Additional
financial documents, outlining their situation in more
detail, are included under separate cover and are exempt
from release under Virginia Code Section 2.2-3705.A.2, 4 and
5.
