Community Council Recommendations

The Etobicoke York Community Council recommends that:

 

1. City Council grant the request for a permit to remove one privately owned tree located at 3 Sonoma Way, conditional upon the applicant providing five replacement trees which can be achieved in a combination of on-site planting and cash-in-lieu of planting.

Origin

(March 22, 2022) 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 3 Sonoma Way. The application indicates the reason for removal is due to the sap of the tree dripping onto the vehicles in the driveway.

 

The subject tree is a Colorado blue spruce tree (Picea pungens), measuring 38 cm in diameter. The Tree By-laws do not support the removal of this tree as it is healthy and maintainable.
