Origin

(November 30, 2020) Report from the Director, Urban Forestry, Parks, Forestry and Recreation

Summary

This report requests that City Council deny a request for a permit to remove one privately owned tree located at 147 Fenn Avenue. The application indicates the reasons for removal are that the tree is too close to the dwelling, may be impacting the dwelling foundation, and that its roots are heaving the paving stones of the interlocking walkway, causing an accessibility issue.

 

The subject tree is a honey locust (Gleditsia triacanthos) measuring 64 cm in diameter. The Private Tree By-law does not support the removal of the tree as it is healthy and maintainable.
