Community Council Recommendations
Etobicoke York Community Council recommends that:
1. City Council grant the request for a permit to remove one (1) privately-owned tree at 15 Sapling Court, with a condition that the owner provide five (5) replacement trees, which can be achieved in a combination of on-site planting and cash-in-lieu of planting.
Origin
Summary
This report requests that City Council deny the request for a permit to remove one (1) privately-owned tree located in the rear yard at 15 Sapling Court. The application indicates the reasons for removal are to address concerns that branches overhanging the house are hazardous; and that a retaining wall and stairs in close proximity to the tree are being damaged by tree roots and have also become a hazard.
The subject tree is a sugar maple (Acer saccharum) measuring 48 cm in diameter.
Urban Forestry does not support removal of this tree as it is healthy and maintainable, and is considered a valuable asset to its surrounding environment.
