PROPOSED EASEMENT FOR IMPROVING STATE ROUTE 729 NEAR UNIVERSITY AIRPORT

The President reported that residents of the area of the University Airport, on State Route
729 near Milton, are desirous of having the State Highway Department improve the road, specifically
to take out a dangerous curve on a stretch of road that runs between the University of Virginia Airport
tract and a tract under private ownership. The State Highway Department has informally indicated
to the President's Office that most of the work probably would be done on the side of the
road that is privately owned, and that a very small portion of the University property would be
involved, possibly requiring no more than a drainage easement.

The following resolution was adopted:

RESOLVED by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia
that the President is hereby authorized and empowered to execute, in the name and on behalf of the
Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia, after review and approval by Special Counsel,
such grants of easement or right-of-way over lands of the University of Virginia, not exceeding
one-half acre, as are necessary to enable the State Highway Department to improve State Route 729
near Milton.

RESOLVED further that the Secretary be and he is hereby authorized and empowered to affix
the corporate seal of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia to any such grant of
easement or right-of-way and to attest the same.
