Community Council Decision

The Etobicoke York Community Council:

 

1. Deferred consideration of the item until the May 17, 2021 meeting of the Etobicoke York Community Council.

Origin

(March 24, 2021) 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 two City-owned trees located at 146 Stanley Avenue. The application indicates the reasons for removal are due to the conflict with the proposed crane access for construction of a new home and driveway, the new driveway itself, and concerns that the weeping willow is damaging their existing foundation and driveway.

 

The subject trees are a weeping willow (Salix babylonica), measuring 58 cm in diameter and a multi-stemmed white birch (Betula papyrifera), measuring 15 cm, 14 cm, 10 cm, and 6 cm in diameter. The Tree By-laws do not support the removal of these trees as they are healthy and maintainable.
