Origin
Summary
This report requests that North York Community Council deny the request for a permit to remove one privately owned tree located on the boundary line between the properties of 85 Helendale Avenue and 87 Helendale Avenue. The applicant indicates the reason for requesting removal of the tree is to address concerns related to roots and nuts causing trip hazards, nut allergies, and damage to a fence.
The black walnut tree (Juglans nigra) measures 42 centimetres 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.
