Origin

(August 13, 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 in the rear yard at 31 Norden Crescent. The application indicates the reason for removal is due concerns over safety and damage to adjacent hardscape features, both caused by falling walnuts.

 

The subject tree is a black walnut (Juglans nigra), measuring 74 cm in diameter. The Tree By-laws do not support the removal of this tree as it is healthy and maintainable.
