Municipal Board hearing Planning board learned of an application made by Charles and Edward Mitchell of R I Acton to the Com mlttee to sever a 1 acres parcel from their 10 acre property which was denied Councillor Sheldon pointed out to the board that the land is owned by three brothers one who lives on the property one who lives in Brampton and one who is both mentally and physically handicapped In order to jointly care for the third brother the brother from Brampton wishes to move to the area to help out Sheldon noted if the severance is not granted it Is possible the handicapped person may have to be In stitutionalized She appealed to planning board members to look at the social aspects of the case Sheldon pointed out the Mitchell brothers have owned the land for II years longer than a bona fide farmer needs to hold the land before a severance can be requested She also pointed out the land Is rocky and not good farming land Mayor Pete emphasized planning board members are not opposed to a hand capped person but the planning aspects have to be looked at also He explained council members have always supported Land Division Committee decisions and this time is no ex
