The neighbors have each agreed to purchase an Outright Exemption parcel in order to increase the size of their existing properties to prevent a new owner from building between them. The Outright Exemption parcels will be forever combined, never to be sold mortgaged or transferred separately from each of the neighboring properties. The following Notes shall be added to the plat: Outright Exemption Parcel A shall be forever combined with the metes and bounds property conveyed at reception number 2017003815, never to be sold, mortgaged, or transferred separately. Outright Exemption Parcel B shall be forever combined with the metes and bounds property conveyed at reception number 2017000477, never to be sold, mortgaged, or transferred separately. Because the legal descriptions for the neighboring Mikes and Sweetman parcels will change if the Outright Exemptions are approved, Quit Claim Deeds from Gary and Ramona Mikes to Gary and Ramona Mikes and from James K Sweetman to James K Sweetman shall be required prior to recording the final plat.
