Origin
Summary
This report requests that Toronto and East York Community Council deny the request for a permit to remove one privately owned tree located on the boundary line between the properties of 93 and 95 Silver Birch Avenue. The applicant indicates the reason for requesting the removal of the tree is concern over the potential failure of the tree that is growing with a strong lean over the house.
The white oak tree (Quercus alba) measures 74 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 City's decision to deny a tree permit.
