of the Amendment by the Minister, if the Council and Region of York request the
change, The Committee recommends that the Committee of Adjustment be advised
that the requested severances would be looked upon favourably from a planning
point of view subject to the following conditions:

on these lands.
(b) That a road allowance, subject to the Town Engineers and Councils approval,
be deeded to the Town, west of Bayview Avenue across the southerly frontage
