I'm staying pretty busy with appraisal stuff—the financial world as it is today brings all kinds of reasons for appraisals—some not good. I have a questions for you on a new construction appraisal I am working on. The parcel is in the town of Primrose. There are 3 parcels: 0507-031-8165-5, 0507-031- 8080-7, and 0507-031-8325-1. There is an old trailer on 8080-7, and the owners are planning to remove the trailer and build a small home on it. I see that the zoning noted on Access Dane is A-1 Exclusive. I believe, based on the age of the trailer, this may be a parcel of record prior to the zoning changes. However, if I am interpreting the zoning correctly, it looks like this may be non-conforming. This brings up a few questions: 1. Am I interpreting this correctly? Yes. Sometimes the answer is as follows: This is a legal, non-conforming parcel. Current use is allowed, however, any changing event ( fire, wind destruction, or similar)would require the parcel and the use of the parcel to come into compliance with current codes and standards. 2. Is it non-conforming? Legal, non-conforming is simply a statement that makes reference to a parcel and use that was in existence prior to the adoption of the current ordinance code. 3. Will they be allowed to build on the parcel under current zoning? This is a yes - no. Most parcels can be build upon, with respect to today's code 4. If not, what would they have to rezone to? Depending upon the Town Land Use Plan, and in conjunction with the County plan, they would ask to rezone to a category that fits the use they intend for the property. 5. There appears to be a road ROW that runs between the parcels. The owner stated that it is the old Hwy 92 ROW. Is this true? Who owns this parcel? Ya, this is one of those 64K$questions. I believe the usual answer is that until the roadway is 'vacated' it still belongs to the public. So, once a public ROW, always a ROW. I have had questions about these lands in the past. I am trying to remember if the owner was in over the last several years asking about splits, or selling off some of this lands. Can't remember much more. Hope this helps. Let me know. Charlie Thanks for the help, Charlie. If you want, feel free to call me on my cell to discuss this- 225-8515. Thanks, Charlie. 10/13/2008
