Origin
Summary
This report requests that City Council deny the request for a permit to remove one City-owned tree located at 29 Craydon Avenue. The application indicates the reason for removal is that the tree is too close to a proposed driveway related to the construction of a new building, as proposed from recent Committee of Adjustment approvals.
The subject tree is a London plane tree (Platanus x acerifolia), measuring 83 cm in diameter. The Tree By-laws do not support the removal of this tree as it is healthy and maintainable.
