Origin
Summary
This report requests that North York Community Council deny the request for a permit to remove one privately owned tree located on the boundary line between the properties of 10 and 12 Glencairn Avenue. The applicant indicates the reason for requesting removal of the tree is that the homeowner is concerned about the tree potentially failing due to defects and its proximity to a fence.
The white mulberry tree (Morus alba) measures 45 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.
