The appellant appealed the Committee of Adjustment's refusal of a consent to sever a lot into two and associated minor variances for lot frontage and area to permit the construction of two fourplexes.

The tribunal approved the severance and variances subject to conditions requiring the planting of an additional street tree and the retention of an arborist to supervise tree protection and replacement during construction.
