Origin

(June 24, 2024) Report from the Director, Urban Forestry, Parks, Forestry and Recreation

Summary

This report requests that Etobicoke York Community Council deny the request for a permit to remove one City-owned tree located at 31 Flindon Road. The applicant indicates the reason for requesting removal of the tree is due to the tree being in poor condition and in conflict with a proposed new driveway.

The Norway maple tree (Acer platanoides) measures 51 centimeters in diameter. The City's Tree By-laws do not support the removal of this tree as it is 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.
