Origin
Summary
This report requests that North York Community Council deny the request for a permit to remove one privately owned tree located at 14 Granite Street. The applicant indicates the reason for requesting removal of the tree is due to the proximity of the tree to the house and the risk of tree failure that could result in personal injury or property damage.
The Colorado blue spruce tree, Picea pungens, in question measures 44 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.
