E <br />Mr. Eddie Kirk <br />Orange County <br />Hillsborough, <br />Dear Mr. Kirk: <br />November 6, 1991 <br />Planning Department <br />NC 27278 <br />Re: Featherwood Subdivision <br />I am writing this letter to provide some background <br />regarding the parcel of land now under review for major Sub- <br />division, known as Featherwood Phase II. <br />This land has been in my family for many years as a <br />single tract of 38.88 acres with two houses on it; a 2300 square <br />foot log house, and a 900 square foot frame house. In 1989 My <br />mother, Sara Feather Hendrickson, conveyed the property to me and <br />my brother, Keith Feather to divide between ourselves. My <br />brother and I explored a number of options regarding possiile <br />divisions but were never able to agree to pursue one to finality. <br />In March of 1990, I petitioned the courts to divide the land in <br />equal halves in a partition proceeding. <br />Three knowledgeable real estate professionals, pau, <br />Kempa, Alois Caliemyn, and Lisa Vettranc, were appointed by the <br />Court to divide the land. They tested soil, appraised the houses <br />and walked the land before dividing the property into a 22 acre <br />tract of mostly interior land, along with the 2300 square foot <br />log house, and a 15 acre tract with substantially more road <br />frontage and the _ram_ house. <br />They explained their valua.=on and <br />division of the property by pointing to the development pc7en7_al <br />of the 15 acre tract, with its ample road frontage and good soil. <br />After a great deal of negotiation, my brother and <br />agreed that 1 would take the 15 acre tract and he would gee she <br />22 acre tract, with the understanding that I would sub - divide --- <br />order to obtain the equal value intended by the commissioners. <br />Mr. Eddie Kirk <br />
