North York Community Council:

 

1. Deferred the consideration of this item until the June 20, 2023 meeting of the North York Community Council.

Origin

(March 9, 2023) Report from the 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 at 146 Three Valleys Drive. The applicant indicates the reason for requesting removal of the tree is due to its size, proximity to the private residence, impact to the walkway and driveway, and the presence of dead branches and dripping sap.

           

The Norway spruce tree, Picea abies, in question measures 51 cm in diameter. The City's Tree By-laws do not support the removal of this tree as it is healthy and maintainable. 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 City's decision to deny a tree permit
