We have 112 acres on greenbelt. The original house is from 1815 with an addition. We have been trying to build a single house to move to the farm so our parents can stay there. The town will not let us build. We have had the land since the 50s. The arguments to keep the ban in place are not valid. The main argument is we need to keep farmland to feed people. Less than 10 percent of farmable land in the area makes it to a dinner table. The farms are generally for animal feed, hay and tree farms. We do not farm food you eat. We toronto are the 3rd biggest city in north america and do not have enough housing to accomodate. I dont want to build sub divisions but understand the need to. I also think its craxy all you non farm owners complaining that we need to keep our farms for food which isnt the case and no one should dictate what we do with our land that we have had since before any of these conservation authorities existed. Please pass bill 66 and if you dont agree then do your homework and make valid arguments.
