Origin

(June 10, 2019) Report from the Director, Urban Forestry, Parks, Forestry and Recreation

Summary

This report requests that City Council approves the request for a permit to remove one City-owned tree located at 116 Briar Hill Ave. The application indicates the reasons for removal are to construct a new dwelling and driveway on a severed lot.

 

The subject tree is a Freeman maple (Acer x freemanii), measuring 23 cm in diameter. The City Tree By-law does not support the removal of this tree as a landscape plan was not satisfactory to the ward councillor.
