Origin
Summary
This report requests that Toronto and East York Community Council deny the request for a permit to remove one privately owned tree located at 38 Firstbrooke Road. The applicant indicates the reason for requesting removal of the tree is due to property damage and safety concerns related to falling branches and dropping acorns.
The red oak tree, Quercus rubra, in question measures 113 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.
