Community Council Recommendations
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:
1. City Council deny the request for a permit to remove one (1) privately-owned tree located at 21 Queensdale Avenue.
Origin
Summary
This report recommends that City Council deny the application for a permit to remove one (1) privately-owned tree located at 21 Queensdale Avenue. The application indicates the reasons for removal are to address concerns that the tree is too close to the deck and other infrastructure, and that the falling walnuts create a hazard for individuals using the deck and property.
The subject tree is a black walnut (Juglans nigra), measuring 41 cm in diameter. The Tree By-law does not support the removal of this tree as it is healthy and maintainable.
