Origin
Summary
This report requests that the Toronto and East York Community Council deny the request for a permit to remove one City-owned tree located at 326 Durie Street. The applicant indicates the reason for requesting removal of the tree is to facilitate the construction of a front yard parking pad.
The saucer magnolia tree (Magnolia x soulangeana) measures 14 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. 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.
