Origin
Summary
This report requests that the 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 15 Marchwood Drive and 111 Sandringham Drive. The applicant indicates the reason for requesting removal of the tree is concern about the potential damage to a cabana, pool equipment, and fence as the tree grows.
The Norway maple tree (Acer platanoides) measures 54 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. 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.
