Origin

(December 15, 2022) Report from the Acting Director, Urban Forestry, Parks, Forestry and Recreation

Summary

This report requests that North York Community Council deny the request for a permit to remove one privately owned tree located in the rear yard at 295 Woburn Avenue. The applicant is seeking permission to remove the tree to address concerns regarding the proximity of the tree to the adjacent properties; and the creation of slip hazards on the adjacent rear deck.

The subject tree is a honey locust (Glenditsia triacanthos) measuring 49 cm in diameter. The Tree By-laws do not support the removal of this tree as it is healthy and maintainable.
