Origin
Summary
This report requests that Toronto and East York Community Council deny the request for a permit to remove one City-owned tree located at 60 Roxborough Drive. The applicant indicates the reason for requesting removal of the tree is due to a driveway realignment.
The Japanese maple tree (Acer palmatum) measures 32 cm 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.
