This application proposes to establish a driveway as a common element at 378-388 Shuter St, 47-63 Sutton St and 150-160 Sackville St.  The common elements condominium is required to provide legal vehicular access to eighteen (18) residential units and to ensure shared ownership and maintenance of the common elements by the condominium corporation.
