Origin
Summary
This report requests that City Council deny the request for a permit to remove one privately owned tree located on the boundary line between the properties of 214 and 216 Snowdon Avenue. The application has been made by the owner of 214 Snowdon Avenue. The application indicates the reasons for removal are to address concerns that the tree is damaging a deck structure, the tree's proximity to the house, and the potential for the tree's roots to cause foundation problems.
The subject tree is an American elm tree (Ulmus americana), measuring approximately 80 cm in diameter. The Private Tree By-law does not support the removal of this tree as it is healthy and maintainable.
