The appellant appealed the City of Burlington Committee of Adjustment's refusal of consent and minor variance applications to sever a residential lot into two and reduce the minimum lot width from 18.0 metres to 15.2 metres.

The Tribunal heard unopposed expert planning evidence that the proposed lots would be compatible with the surrounding neighbourhood, maintain the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law, and represent appropriate residential intensification.

The Tribunal allowed the appeals, authorized the variances, and granted provisional consent subject to conditions.
