As the city filed it

The applicant applied to the Committee of Adjustment (Applications A0510/20NY, A0511/20NY and B0034/20NY) (the "Application") for a consent to sever and for minor variances. The applicant proposes to sever the existing lot, which would result in two equal, undersized residential lots requiring variances to lot frontage and lot area. The Application also requests variances with respect to side yard setbacks, lot coverage, side exterior main wall height, number of storeys, and building height.
