Origin
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 Toronto and East York Community Council deny the request for a permit to remove one privately owned tree located at 49 Sumach Street. The application indicates the reason for removal is due to the replacement of an existing pool, concerns over falling fruit that produced a foul smell, attracted wildlife, and may be poisonous to children and dogs.
The subject tree is a ginkgo tree (Ginkgo biloba) measuring 73 cm in diameter. The Tree By-laws do not support the removal of this tree as it is healthy and maintainable.
