Origin
Summary
This report requests that the City Council deny the request for a permit to remove one City-owned tree located at 330 Humberline Drive. The application indicates the reason for removal is to accommodate a new driveway entrance within the City-owned right-of-way resulting from recent Committee of Adjustment approvals.
The subject tree is a littleleaf linden (Tilia cordata), measuring 39 cm in diameter. The Tree By-law does not support the removal of this tree as it is healthy and maintainable.
