(May 14, 2020) Report from the Director, Urban Forestry, Park, Forestry and Recreation

Summary

This report requests that City Council deny the request for a permit to remove one City-owned tree located at 4 Tarlton Road. The application indicates the reason for removal is due to concerns that the tree is in declining health and has become destabilized due to construction work.

The subject tree is a Norway maple (Acer platanoides), measuring 72 cm in diameter. The Tree By-law does not support the removal of this tree as it is healthy and maintainable.
