This is the second "no-subdivide" easement NCLT has worked on. The Phillips family wanted to split their 8-plus acre parcel to enable future sale and development of the newly created vacant parcel. However, the new parcel would have been eligible for a potential additional split, which the County would not allow due to terrain conditions. One of the alternatives to solve this problem, the establishment of special zoning to prevent future development, would have been very costly and time-consuming. The alternative they chose was to cover the land with a conservation easement prohibiting future lot splits. This solution allowed their split to proceed and was very cost efficient. The easement is recorded and runs with the deed.
