a minimum lot size of two acres are allowed from parcels of record as of 1962. In 1962, Mrs. Doares’ 16 acres were part of a 42-acre tract belonging to her father, Paul Brown. He subdivided the property, giving 16 acres to Mrs. Doares and 26 acres to her sister.

The sister subsequently sold her land, and just weeks before Mrs. Doares sought to divide five acres to transfer to her son, the new owners received administrative approval for three two-acre lots under the family division exception. The three lots, plus the 20 acre residue and Mrs. Doares’ 16 acres, totaled the five cuts allowed by right.

In September, the Board of Supervisors adopted ordinance amendments limiting a landowner to one family division in a calendar year and requiring that all owners of land belonging to the same parent parcel in 1962 be notified of the division. Those changes would prevent the same situation from occurring again, however they did nothing to redress Mrs. Doares’ problem.

Additional amendments with that specific aim
