As the city filed it

This report recommends approval of the application to exempt the lands from the Part Lot Control provisions of the Planning Act at 241-243 Finch Avenue East to permit the creation of conveyable lots for eight townhouse units which would ultimately be held under freehold ownership and become the Parcels of Tied Land (POTLs) to the Common Elements Condominium. A related Common Elements Condominium application has been submitted to establish eight (8) residential dwelling units with shared common elements such as a private access driveway and site servicing under File Number 25 134479 NNY 18 CD.
