Decision Type:: ACTION

Status:: Deferred

Ward:: 6 - York Centre

Community Council Decision

The North York Community Council:

1. Deferred consideration of the item until its meeting on April 7, 2020.

Origin

(February 24, 2020) Report from the Director, Urban Forestry, Parks, Forestry and Recreation

Summary

This report requests that City Council deny the request for a permit to remove one privately owned tree located at 17 Arlstan Drive. The application indicates the reasons for removal are because the tree is situated close to the dwelling resulting in a leaking foundation causing property damage and there is the risk of personal injury to an elderly neighbour as a result of slipping on fallen leaves.

The subject tree is a multi-stemmed Norway maple (Acer plantanoides), measuring 45 cm and 51 cm in diameter. The Private Tree By-law does not support the removal of the tree as it is healthy and maintainable.
