Dear Editor:
A few months ago there was a report on the severance of lands for building homes for the future. Apparently there was outcry in the area. We need farm lands.
What about properties that are less than 100 acres and are too small to make a living farming? Or where the GRCA claim to “protect” 90% of your land so you can’t even farm on it?
We have almost 80 acres, with only 10 acres farmable and 12 acres we can’t access due to the rail line so we can’t farm.
And the other 66 acres the GRCA will not allow us to do anything with; we can’t even clean the dead and falling trees to make the land safer. We can’t clear the decaying smelly backed up swamp to create a beautiful pond for wildlife and every year GRCA claim more and more land.
What’s the answer to all those who are opposed to severances? You think three lots of one to 1.5 acres for single family homes is going to destroy the environment?
