Community Council Recommendations
Etobicoke York Community Council recommends that:
1. City Council grant the request for a permit to remove one (1) privately-owned sugar maple tree located at 22 Boxwood Road, with a condition that the applicant provide five (5) replacement trees, which can be achieved in a combination of on-site planting and cash-in-lieu of planting.
Origin
Summary
This report requests that City Council deny the request for a permit to remove one (1) privately owned tree located at 22 Boxwood Road. The application indicates the reasons for removal are to address concerns associated with falling branches and the tree being too close to the dwelling located on the property.
The subject tree is a sugar maple tree (Acer saccharum), measuring 57cm in diameter. The Private Tree By-law does not support the removal of this tree as it is healthy and maintainable.
