Origin
Summary
This report requests that City Council deny the request for a permit to remove one privately owned tree located at 95 Gordon Road. The application indicates the reasons for removal are to address concerns that the tree represents a potential hazard, is not suitable for the growing space due to its height, has caused damage to a neighbouring property, and may cause damage to the playground adjacent to the tree.
The subject tree is a Siberian elm (Ulmus pumilia), measuring 84 cm in diameter. The Private Tree By-law does not support the removal of this tree as it is healthy and maintainable.
