RESOLUTION
Approval of an Amendment to the
Conservation Easement
Between
Orange County and Mark and Lori Volpe
WHEREAS, Mark and Lori Volpe own a 43-acre tract of land located at 1717 Halls Mill Road in
Orange County (Cheeks Township); and
WHEREAS, Orange County holds a permanent conservation easement on a 23.5-acre portion
of the Volpe property, which was executed on February 10, 2004; and
WHEREAS, Orange County is working with an adjoining landowner (Jason and Rebecca Davis)
to place a permanent conservation easement along a 1,000-foot long segment of Halley Creek;
and
WHEREAS, Orange County and the Volpes are willing to amend the conservation easement in
such a way that it would allow the Volpes to transfer a 3.62-acre portion of an Orange County-
held conservation easement to Jason and Rebecca Davis for an expansion of their property that
will also be protected by an Orange County-held conservation easement; and
WHEREAS, the amendment to the conservation easement on the Volpe property, in
combination with the granting of a new conservation easement on the adjoining Davis property,
will enhance the long-term protection of the Halley Creek stream corridor;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Orange County Board of Commissioners does
hereby 1) approve the execution of an Amendment to the Deed of Conservation Easement with
Mark and Lori Volpe, in accordance with the terms of the proposed Amendment, the final form
and terms of which to be approved by DEAPR staff and the County Attorney; and 2) authorize
the Chair and the Clerk to sign the Amendment to the Deed of Conservation Easement on
behalf of the Board and cause it to be recorded with the Orange County Register of Deeds, with
