Origin
Summary
This report requests that Etobicoke York Community Council deny the request for a permit to remove two privately owned trees located at 51 Burnhamthorpe Crescent. The applicant indicates the reason for requesting removal of these trees is for construction of parking spaces, walkway, and driveway associated with a two-storey fourplex building and a garden suite.
The black walnut tree (Juglans nigra) measures 58 cm in diameter and the Norway maple tree (Acer platanoides) measures 59 cm in diameter. The City's Tree By-laws do not support the removal of these trees as they are 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.
