Origin
Summary
This report requests that City Council deny the request for a permit to remove one privately owned tree located at 113 Meadowbank Road. The application indicates the reason for removal is to address concerns that the tree's roots are clogging the main drain pipe, leading to basement flooding.
The subject tree is a honey locust (Gleditsia triacanthos), measuring 60 cm in diameter. The Private Tree By-law does not support the removal of this tree as it is healthy and maintainable.
