Origin
Summary
This report requests that North York Community Council deny the request for a permit to remove two privately owned trees located at 25 Janus Court. The applicant indicates the reason for requesting removal of the trees is due to their proximity to surrounding structures if the tree should fail, and site limitations which may impede growth.
The Colorado blue spruce tree, Picea pungens, in question measures 40 cm in diameter and the honey locust tree, Gleditsia triacanthos, in question measures 62 cm in diameter. The City's Tree By-laws do not support the removal of these trees as they are 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.
