Origin
Summary
This report requests that Etobicoke York Community Council deny the request for a permit to remove one privately-owned tree located on the boundary line between the properties of 31 Clearside Place and 33 Clearside Place. The tree is protected under the Ravine and Natural Feature Protection bylaw. The applicant indicates the reason for requesting removal of the tree is due to concerns that the tree may pose a safety concern and cause property damage, should it fail.
The red maple tree (Acer rubrum) measures 72 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.
