Hayfield Farms Community Association II v. Board of Supervisors of Fairfax County Results in $1,857,920 Settlement

The big question in this case was how to value a homeowners association’s open space which could not be further developed due to restrictions in the zoning approvals.

In what appears to be a first nationwide, Paul successfully argued that the open space added value to every home in the neighborhood and that there was a market for park land and playing fields.

The original offer was $106,000.
