Origin

(January 22, 2019) Report from the Director, Urban Forestry, Parks and Recreation

Summary

This report recommends that City Council deny the request for a permit to remove one (1) privately-owned tree located at 5 Versend Drive. The application indicates the reason for removal is the tree's proximity to the house and its declining health.

 

The subject tree is a Colorado blue spruce (Picea pungens) measuring 41 cm in diameter. The Private Tree By-law does not support the removal of this tree as it is healthy and maintainable.
