concession 10. Also present were
Scott Tousaw, of the Huron County
Planning and Development Office
and Eugene McAdam, the town
ship's chief building official.
Mr. Deveraux said he had spoken
to Mr. Tousaw prior to making the
severance application and said he
has been advised that the proposed
severed and retained parcels are
considered to be viable in coniu* c-
tion with the other lands owned oy
the farmer who would be purchas
ing the lol.
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.
Councillors indicated they were
concerned with 50 acre severances
as they do not comply with the zon
ing bylaw and that further applica
tions would be received for lot
splits. Council confirmed their rec
ommendation of May 7 that the
severance not be allowed.
The County committee al its May
