County cites deed restrictions, sets April 12 hearing on transferring flood-buyout parcels to Oakville Foundation
Summary
After reviewing deed restrictions on flood-buyout properties that require public ownership, the board set an April 12, 2022 public hearing on transferring four tax-sale parcels (13-25-185-008; 13-25-185-009; 13-25-156-005; 13-25-101-012) to the Oakville Foundation.
Louisa County supervisors discussed several parcels held by the county because of flood buyouts and were told the county attorney's research indicates deed restrictions require those properties to remain in public ownership and cannot be sold to a nonprofit. Following that clarification, the board set a public hearing for April 12, 2022 to consider transferring four tax-sale parcels to the Oakville Foundation.
The parcels identified in the minutes are 13-25-185-008, 13-25-185-009, 13-25-156-005 and 13-25-101-012. The minutes state the county attorney had researched deed restrictions on the buyout properties and concluded they must remain in public ownership; the board nevertheless scheduled the hearing to consider the proposed transfer to the Oakville Foundation.
The minutes do not record additional detail about when the deed restrictions were imposed or the specific statutory authority that governs these properties. The hearing on April 12 will provide an opportunity for further information and public comment.
