less than the larger eastern centres might require Councillor Terry Ross described this as expenditure but fair on the average" Considerable debate arose from a proposed severance between Wilkinson and Whalen in Echo River The severance was recommended by planning board although Reeve Calvin Hurley stated that under normal circumstances it would not have been approved However a difficult situation arises from the tact that some years ago it was permissable tor a farmer to allow a relative to build on Us property if that individual was to help on the farm No severance was required The Wilkinson farm is not presently in operation but Mr Whalen owns and occupies a house on Mr Wilkinson's land and granting a severance seemed the only way to clear up this situation Councillor Ross spoke on Ms unhappiness with file present trend toward farms This trend destroys the rural environment ana may take agricultural land out of He did not feel that the Sudbury office would approve the severance anyway but did not wish to establish a precedent in this case Such a precedent would enable anyone who builds an additional to rent it and later demand a severance A recorded vote passed toe
