Cabarrus County staff asked the Board of Commissioners to adopt a resolution to execute a boundary agreement resolving minor survey discrepancies at Virginia Foyle Park so a planned fence project can proceed.

Doug Hall presented the matter and summarized that when the county purchased the Virginia Foyle Park property in 2021, survey work identified longstanding discrepancies dating from the 1970s. Hall said the disagreement centers on a small “no-man’s land” of roughly 650 square feet that a neighbor, identified in materials as Ms. Miles, has been using as yard and driveway; two additional narrow overlaps measure about 180 feet by 1 foot and about 43 feet by 1 foot.

Hall said the county and the neighboring owners — identified as Mr. and Mrs. Johnson and Ms. Miles and her husband — have agreed on a single, fixed line and are asking the board to execute the boundary agreement and record it to clear title and allow the fence project to move forward. Michael Miller, design and construction director, was present for technical questions.

Why this matters: Recording a boundary agreement resolves potential property disputes, clarifies maintenance responsibilities, and prevents a future claim related to placing county improvements such as fencing.

Commissioners asked whether the agreement would create a hardship for any owner; Hall said the county was not taking any land from neighbors and that the agreement follows historical use as shown on older plats. The board moved the item to the consent agenda.
