Origin
Summary
This report requests that City Council deny the application for a permit to remove one (1) City-owned tree located on City road allowance fronting 5 Lincoln Woods Court. The application indicates the reason for removal is to accommodate a clear and unobstructed view of a newly constructed home.
The subject tree is a Nootka false cypress (Chamaecyparis nootkatensis 'Pendula'), measuring 18 cm in diameter. Urban Forestry does not support removal of this tree as it is healthy and maintainable.
