As I visit more and more rural folks, severances are a big topic, but why? Why is so hard to get severances? You would think that with the increased revenue potential, severances should be a no brainer. Mostly the reason has to do with property soil types and there are various types, but the problem is soil types are based on 1000 hectares and therefore most properties are painted with the same brush and the answer is NO.
Position - Instead of 1000 hectares it should be 100 acres and not only that, greater input from the landowner needs to occur. Also the powers that be should have to visit the potential severed lot and that power should have to prove why the specific property can not be severed based on real data.
