Community Council Decision
North York Community Council deferred consideration of Item NY29.20 to the April 20, 2022 meeting of the North York Community Council.
Origin
Summary
This report requests that City Council deny the request for a permit to remove one privately owned tree located at 37 Bentworth Avenue. The application indicates the reason for removal is due to concerns that the tree is causing damage to a concrete pad, pathways and foundation, and that the tree's needles and cones are dropping onto the roof of the neighbouring property, requiring the owners to remove the debris on a regular basis.
The subject tree is a Colorado blue spruce tree (Picea pungens), measuring 53 cm in diameter. The Tree By-laws do not support the removal of this tree as it is healthy and maintainable.
