AgricultureBrussels Livestock reportFed steers, heifers sell under pressurePAGE 18. THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2008.
A request to sever a surplus farm
residence will go to the county
planning committee with the support
of Morris-Turnberry council.
Charlie Terpstra appeared before
council at its Nov. 18 meeting to
argue in support of the severance
application at Lots 27 and 28, Conc.
6, Morris.
The obstacle to the severance is
the new provincial guideline for
minimum distance separation
(MDS) from a nearby barn. The
MDS requirement is 934 feet
between the house and barn but the
distance is only 687 feet.
The distance to the house is only
75 per cent of the requirement while
the distance to the lot line is 70 per
cent.
Nancy Michie, administrator,
clerk-treasurer told council the
planning department had said it
could not support the severance but
if the municipality lent its approval
it might change the opinion of the
planning committee.
Terpstra argued the municipality
had allowed the barn to be built at
the same distance from the house
that is now being used to prevent the
house from being severed. The same
distance should apply both ways, he
said.
Steve Fortier, chief building
official, explained that the MDS
requirements were increased in
2006, after the barn was built. Under
today’s requirements the barn would
not be allowed to be built where it
was.
Michie presented two examples of
other severances that had been
allowed to proceed despite failing to
meet the MDS requirements by an
even greater margin than the
Terpstra property.
Based on those figures, councillor
Paul Gowing supported making a
special case for the Terpstra
property.
But councillor Mark Beaven
argued that “just because we made
an incorrect decision before
shouldn’t make us make more. It
starts you down a slippery road.”
But Michie explained there
wouldn’t be a problem with the
severance if the MDS regulations
hadn’t changed in 2006 after the
barn was built. That seemed to move
some councillors and in a recorded
vote, only councillor Bill Thompson
said he couldn’t support the
severance.

local supporters of the Royal market lamb auction — Brussels Livestock and Brussels Agri-
