Origin
Summary
This report requests that North York Community Council deny the request for a permit to remove one privately owned tree located at 258 Glengrove Avenue West. The applicant indicates the reason for requesting the removal of the tree is due to concerns over the structure of the tree and the potential damage it could cause.
The Colorado blue spruce tree (Picea pungens) measures 46 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 City's decision to deny a tree permit.
