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 on the boundary line between the properties of 426 and 428 Plains Road. The application indicates that the reason for removal is due to concerns that the tree's pollen is causing allergic reactions; it drops seed fluff and sticky pods; has caused property damage by dropping branches, and by the roots heaving and cracking the garage foundation.
The subject tree is an eastern cottonwood (Populus deltoides) measuring 77 cm in diameter. The Tree By-laws do not support the removal of this tree as it is healthy and maintainable.
