Origin

(August 21, 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 422 Lytton Boulevard. The applicant indicates the reason for requesting removal of the tree is due to concerns that a complete or partial failure of the tree may result in personal injury or property damage.

          

The Austrian pine tree, Pinus nigra, in question measures 57 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.
