The appellant appealed the Committee of Adjustment's refusal of an application for consent to sever a residential property into two lots and associated minor variances for lot area and frontage.

The Toronto Local Appeal Body dismissed the appeal, finding that the proposed lots would be significantly undersized compared to the prevailing neighbourhood character.
