General Suburban Updates and Rumours

Theoretically possible, but it’s rather small for a farm. My question is why one would even suspect the two areas to be related in any way. The fact that they add up to approximately a rectangle doesn’t rise above the level of being an interesting geometrical observation. I’m basically saying “cite needed” to the assertion that they form a single parcel.

The citation is the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) database available through the region's GIS portal that says it is one parcel.

As with almost every parcel in the region it has been carved up and divided over time. Probably belonged to the Erb or Martin family.

Thanks! That’s really interesting. It probably goes way back in that case. The last remnants of probably an entire German Company lot. I was only looking at the zoning map, which gives no indication of ownership. Will be interested to see if the cleared portion gets severed.
