Origin

(May 27, 2021) Report from the Acting Director, Urban Forestry, Parks, Forestry and Recreation

Summary

This report requests that City Council deny the request for a permit to remove one privately owned tree located at 6 Caines Avenue. The application indicates the reason for removal is due to concerns by the applicant that the tree's falling nuts have potential to injure their children; that black walnuts are toxic to their pet; and the potential for damage to the structure and appearance of a planned swimming pool and surrounding hardscape.

 

The subject tree is a black walnut (Juglans nigra) measuring 49 cm in diameter. The Tree By-laws do not support the removal of this tree as it is healthy and maintainable.
