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.
