Origin

(August 13, 2015) Report from the Director, Urban Forestry, Parks, Forestry and Recreation

Summary

This report requests that City Council deny the application for a permit to remove one (1) privately owned tree located at 45 Leuty Avenue. The application indicates the reason for removal is to address concerns that the tree is located too close to the south neighbour's house and is lifting the driveway and walkway.

The subject tree is a slippery elm (Ulmus rubra) measuring 35 cm in diameter. Urban Forestry does not support the removal of the subject tree as it is healthy, maintainable and growing in an appropriate location.
