Origin
Summary
This report requests that Scarborough Community Council deny the request for a permit to remove one privately owned tree located at 72 Bobmar Road. The applicant indicates the reason for requesting removal of the tree is due to concerns about the tree's lean and its potential for failure and property damage.
The white pine tree (Pinus strobus) measures 55 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.
