1. Denied the request for a permit to remove two privately owned trees located at 30 Dunlace Drive.

Origin

(September 26, 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 two privately owned trees located at 30 Dunlace Drive. The applicant indicates the reason for requesting removal of the trees is due to both trees having stems poorly attached to the main trunk creating a concern that they may fail in the future.

         

The Austrian pine (Pinus nigra) trees in question measure 42 centimetres in diameter and 41 centimetres 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 denial of a permit of two trees protected under the By-laws.
