[H 778]
Approved April 4, 2024
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. § 1. That in accordance with and as evidence of General Assembly approval pursuant to § 2.2-1151 of the Code of Virginia, the Department of Conservation and Recreation (the Department) is hereby authorized to quitclaim and release its rights and any interest it may hold in a portion of real estate related to an offsite ingress and egress easement serving the Biscuit Run Property to Samuel Stanhope Walker, II and Janice M. Walker; Leslie Scott Minor, Catherine M. Benson, and Elizabeth P. Walz, Trustees of the Jennie Sue Minor Article IV Exempt Trust FBO Catherine M. Benson; and David W. Kudravetz and George B. McCallum III, as Trustees of the Richlands Farm Land Trust, established by Deed dated January 15, 1945, recorded in the Clerk's Office of the Circuit Court of Albemarle County, Virginia in Deed Book 262, Page 390, and acquired by the Department by Deed dated December 28, 2009, recorded in the Clerk's Office of the Circuit Court of Albemarle County, Virginia in Deed Book 3835, Page 706, upon terms and conditions as the Department deems proper, with the approval of the Department of General Services and the Secretary of Administration and in a form approved by the Attorney General. The purpose of this quitclaim and release is to remove the Department's rights to the ingress and egress easement on adjacent properties, as the Department has leased the lands at the Biscuit Run Property to the Albemarle County Department of Parks and Recreation for the development of a county park, and the county has no need to reestablish the crossing of Biscuit Run or utilize the easement for access to the future park.
