He stated the severance would create two 50-acre parcels which is allowed under the secondary plan providing the land is viable by itself or in conjunction with other lands owned by the farmer. The present southwest 25-acre parcel is land-locked but when severed would create a lot enlargement of 50 acres. Mr. Tousaw reviewed his recom­ mendations to the Huron County Planning and Development Com­ mittee.
