Origin
Summary
This report requests that Etobicoke York Community Council deny the request for a permit to remove one privately owned tree located at 36 Rayside Drive. The applicant indicates the reason for requesting removal of the tree is due to concerns over the tree or a large branch failing, resulting in potential property damage.
The honey locust tree (Gleditsia triacanthos) measures 76 cm in diameter. The City's Tree By-laws do not support the removal of this tree as it is healthy and maintainable. The permit was denied and the applicant is appealing the decision. 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 a tree protected under the By-laws.
