Community Council Decision

North York Community Council:

 

1. Deferred the consideration of this item until the April 30, 2025 meeting of North York Community Council.

Origin

(March 4, 2025) Report from the Acting Director, Urban Forestry, Environment, Climate and Forestry

Summary

This report requests that North York Community Council deny the request for a permit to remove one privately owned tree located at 390 Glencairn Avenue. The applicant indicates the reason for requesting removal of the tree is due to the tree's declining health and concerns about tree failure.

         

The Colorado blue spruce tree (Picea pungens) measures 55 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 appeals the denial of a permit of a tree protected under the By-laws.
