Origin
Summary
This report requests that North York Community Council deny the request for a permit to remove one privately owned tree located at 27 Wynn Road. The applicant indicates the reason for requesting the removal of the tree is because the subject tree is in close proximity to another tree that has been approved for removal, and this approved removal will make the subject tree unstable.
The subject tree is a Norway spruce (Picea abies) measuring 53 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.
