and a land owner that prohibits development of land in a protected watershec perpetuity. In such cases, a modification of the required impervious surface rat may be approved administratively but only to the extent that additional land in same watershed is conserved or protected from development. In such instan~ the land which will be subject to a conservation agreement must be adjacent to land proposed for development and for which a modification of the impervi~ surface ratios is sought. As an example, a person owning a 40,000 square foot lot and subject to a percent impervious surface ratio would be limited to 4,800 square feet impervious coverage. If the person's plans called for 5,500 square feet coverage (a difference of 700 squaze feet), the recording of a conservat. easement on 5,833 squaze feet of contiguous property would satisfy impervious surface ratio requirements. (12% of 5,833 squaze feet is 700 squ feet.) The conservation easement shall describe the property restricted in a man sufficient to pass title, provide that its restrictions are covenants that run with land and, in form, be approved by the County Attorney. The conservat easement shall, upon its recording, be in the place of a first priority lien on property (excepting current ad valorem property taxes) and shall remain so un1E with the approval of Orange County, it is released and terminated. Oran County shall require the priority of the conservation easement to be certified and attorney-at-law, licensed to practice law in the State of Narth Carolina approved to certify title to real property by a lending institution (bank or save and loan association) doing business in Orange County. u 1~ o: o: Orange County approval of a release or termination of the conservation agreem n' shall be declared on the document releasing or terminating the agreement. he document shall be signed by the Orange County Manager, upon approval of e Orange County Board of Commissioners. No such document shall be effectiv tc release or terminate the conservation agreement until it is filed for registrat or with the Register of Deeds of Orange County.
