Hi there
I live in Rural Durham outside of Uxbridge. I own a 10 acre property that is not a farm. I want to be able to subdivide my home into smaller parcels to either sell to others to build a home or build additional homes for my kids. While density is being discussed in cities, it should also be allowed in rural communities such as Uxbridge. Current Durham rules dont allow properties smaller than 100 acres to subdivide. That should be change to 10 acre properties or even less if those properties can adhere to rules regarding septic tanks, setbacks etc. There is alot of housing proverty in rural areas and those areas also need affordable housing which could happen if properties were allowed to be subdivide into smaller lots. Help the rural communities too not just the cities!
Thanks you! Matty
