To that end, in 1998, petitioners retained Ed Brown & Associates, Inc. (Ed Brown and Associates), a consulting company in land surveying, land planning, and land development. Petitioners asked Ed Brown and Associates to pre- pare a plan (petitioners’ subdivision plan) and a plat (petition- ers’ subdivision plat) for the subdivision of the Severn Chapel Road property into 13 lots under the family conveyance subdivi- sion provisions of section 4-301 of article 26 of the Anne Arundel County Code (family conveyance subdivision provisions of the Anne Arundel County Code). Around May 1999, Ed Brown and Associates completed its work. On September 29, 1999, Anne Arundel County approved peti- tioners’ subdivision plan, and petitioners had petitioners’ subdivision plat recorded in the land records of Anne Arundel County. Petitioners’ subdivision plat provided in pertinent part: The family members listed below must retain the lots for a period of five (5) years per the notarized and signed intrafamily trans- fer declaration of intent on file with planning and code enforce- ment and in accordance with article 26, section 304.1(9) and 4-103 (Bill 33-96)Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 NextLast modified: November 10, 2007
