Origin

(March 12, 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 34 Whittaker Crescent. The application indicates the reasons for removal are to address concerns that the tree is overhanging the dwelling, property, and neighbouring driveway.

The subject tree is a Norway spruce (Picea abies), measuring 51 cm in diameter. The Private Tree By-law does not support the removal of the tree as it is healthy and maintainable.
