political subdivision of the Commonwealth of Virginia, and the Town of
Smithfield (the "Town "), a municipal corporation of the Commonwealth of

containing 78.7101 acres adjoining State Route 655, which is also known as

access to public water and sewer, given the prevailing soil conditions, but the
County has no such facilities that can readily serve Area A;
WHEREAS, the Town has existing water and sewer facilities that can be
extended to serve the homes to be constructed in Area A, and the Town can
provide other urban services that will be beneficial to the residents of such
development;

developer of the proposed residential subdivision have requested that the
Parties institute proceedings for the incorporation of the Area A into the
Town;

WHEREAS, the proposed rescue squad facility within Area B must have
access to public water and sewer, and the Town has existing water and sewer

affect the ability of the County to meet the service needs of the other portions
of the County; and
