Origin
Summary
This report requests that the North York Community Council deny the request for a permit to remove one privately-owned tree located at 42 Glenallan Road. The applicant indicates the reason for requesting removal of the tree is concern for the potential future failure of the tree that is growing with a lean towards the house.
The Austrian pine tree (Pinus nigra) measures 53 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.
