Summary

This staff report is about a matter that Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.

This report requests that North York Community Council deny the request for a permit to remove one privately owned tree located on the boundary line between the properties of 25 Caribou Road and 27 Caribou Road. The application indicates the reason for removal is due to concerns that the tree has multiple defects that pose an unacceptable risk of failure.

The subject tree is a silver maple tree (Acer saccharinum) measuring 127 cm in diameter. The Tree By-laws do not support the removal of this tree as it is healthy and maintainable.
