TV Era Keswick CM Farm Report A A WALL RfpmenUtive for York Region Hydro uses farms for conservation experiments There is some confusion these days about the restrictions on severing lots off farms Official plans and bylaws developed by our townships make it more and more difficult to sell lots or even sever lots for extra farm family homes Generally governments at both the regional and provincial levels support township or town councils on these policies Its part of the total program to keep good farms and farming areas in top production In York the policies in use by Markham and Georgina illustrate the approach taken by most of our townships Their main clauses are Good land ARDA Classes to 3 shall be preserved and the rural character of the area maintained Applications for severance should not be granted unless the land to be severed and the remaining pared could be operated as viable farm units and meet the Agricultural Code of Practice Their policies also cover extra family lots It is considered unnecessary that separate lots for farmers sons and daughters working on the farm or lots for farmworkers be created Such lots are vulnerable to being resold for nonfarm uses A second dwelling shall be considered if a separate lot is not created A further clause is that Where conflicting land uses could result from a severance the maintenance of agricultural uses will be favoured Energy conservation on the farm money Ontario Hydro has illustrated with ex periments on farms near Newmarket and Snelgrove Results of the ex periments were shown to about representatives

These policies get full Ontario support through the recent Green Paper on Planning for Agriculture It opposes severances for nonfarm uses because they waste farm land and lead to conflicts between rural residents and farms Rural residents can object to noise manure odours and dust while farmers worry about trespassers damage to crops and fences heavier traffic and higher municipal costs The paper discourages severances that would affect viability of a farm and opposes creation of new lots even if they are for family retired farmers or hired help It suggests that the policy be rigidly adhered to in our real good farming areas but be more flexible where land is in Classes or All of our municipalities in York with the possible exception of have areas of limited farm potential where the rules could be relaxed Firm restrictions on good land are fairly controversial for owners but it is good to be well informed on them We have copies of the Green Paper in our office in Newmarket
