Summary

This report requests that City Council deny the request for a permit to remove one privately owned tree located at 24 King High Avenue. The application indicates the reason for removal is due to concerns the tree is leaning towards the dwelling and may cause property damage and personal injury.

The subject tree is a Siberian elm tree (Ulmus pumila) measuring 51 cm in diameter. The Tree By-laws do not support the removal of this tree as it is healthy and maintainable.
