Origin
Summary
This report requests that North York Community Council deny the request for a permit to remove one privately owned tree located at 71 Kentland Crescent. The applicant indicates the reason for requesting removal of the tree is to address hazards created by tree roots cracking and lifting the concrete patio pavers and a lateral limb overhanging an adjacent property.
The honey locust tree, Gleditsia triacanthos, in question measures 74 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.
