Origin
Summary
This report recommends that City Council deny the request for a permit to remove one (1) privately-owned tree located on the boundary line between the properties at 160 and 168 Erskine Avenue. The owner at 168 Erskine Avenue is requesting removal to address concerns regarding the tree roots' impact on the adjacent driveway and the structural shape of the crown.
The subject tree is an American elm (Ulmus americana) measuring 62 cm in diameter. Urban Forestry does not support removal of this tree as it is healthy and maintainable.
