The applicant appealed the City's Committee of Adjustment decision denying a consent application to sever a parcel into four residential lots.

The City did not participate in the appeal, but a City planner testified under summons that the application was consistent with provincial policies and conformed to the applicable official plans.

The applicant's request for costs against the City was denied, as the Committee's decision alone did not constitute unreasonable conduct.
