Origin

(October 25, 2023) Report from the Director, Urban Forestry, Parks, Forestry and Recreation

Summary

This report requests that Etobicoke York Community Council deny the request for a permit to remove one privately owned tree located at 153 Perry Crescent. The applicant indicates the reason for requesting removal of the tree is due to its conflict with the proposed landscaping plan for the site.

           

The silver maple tree (Acer saccharinum) measures 37 cm in diameter. The City's Tree By-laws do not support the removal of this tree as it is healthy and maintainable. The permit was denied and the applicant is appealing the decision. Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision as to whether a permit may be issued when an applicant wishes to appeal the denial of a permit of a tree protected under the By-laws.
