                                       - 14 -                                         
          petitioner requested a waiver of the Fairfax County On-site                 
          Stormwater Detention Requirements.  The county granted the                  
          request on December 31, 1998, so long as petitioner provided                
          channel protection from storm sewer outfalls to Dogue Creek.                
          This was accomplished by a floodplain easement.  The required               
          protection could not have been satisfied by means of a                      
          conservation easement.  Notwithstanding, petitioner indicated in            
          his development plans that he intended to use a conservation                
          easement to satisfy those BMP requirements.                                 
               During June 1998, petitioner began discussions for the sale            
          of the Grist Mill property to NVHomes.  Petitioner provided                 
          NVHomes with a sketch depicting a 62-lot and a 30-lot proposal              
          for development.  During July 1998, NVHomes sent petitioner a               
          proposed purchase agreement for the Grist Mill property,                    
          envisioning the purchase of approximately 60 fully developed                
          single-family lots.  The parties’ negotiations collapsed because            
          NVHomes wanted fully developed lots and petitioner’s business               
          partner wished to sell the property more quickly than it would              
          take to make the desired improvements.                                      
               During October 1998, Centex Homes offered to purchase 41.5             
          acres of petitioner’s property for $2,700,000 conditional on a              
          PDH-2 rezoning that yielded approximately 60 single-family                  
          detached lots, but not fewer than 50.  Also during October 1998,            
          Batal Builders, Inc., offered to purchase approximately 32.5
