Origin
Summary
This report requests that City Council deny the request for a permit to remove one privately owned tree located at 20 Shirley Crescent. The application indicates the reasons for removal are to address concerns that the tree's roots are causing multiple leaks in the foundation of the house, and that the tree has outgrown its current location.
The subject tree is a silver maple (Acer saccharinum), measuring 156 cm in diameter. The Tree By-law does not support the removal of this tree as it is healthy and maintainable.
