Origin
Summary
This report requests that Scarborough Community Council deny the request for a permit to remove one privately owned tree located at 226 Scarboro Crescent. The applicant indicates the reason for requesting the removal of the tree is a concern for safety with a history of branch failure and associated property damage.
The black walnut tree (Juglans nigra) measures 73 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 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.
