The Etobicoke York Community Council:

Origin

(March 9, 2026) Report from the Director, Urban Forestry, Environment, Climate and Forestry

Summary

This report requests that Etobicoke York Community Council deny the request for a permit to remove one privately owned tree located at 31 Queen Anne Road. The applicant indicates the reason for requesting removal of the tree is a concern expressed by the homeowner regarding safety related to dead branches in the crown of the tree.

         

The honey locust tree (Gleditsia triacanthos) measures 67 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. The Community Council has delegated authority from the 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.
